Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Workspace: Start by clearing off your kitchen counter and gathering all ingredients and tools needed—a microwave-safe bowl and spatula should be handy.

Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and butter. Heat in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth; stir frequently to avoid burning.

Add Sweetness: Stir in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate until fully combined—your kitchen will smell heavenly.

Mix in Sprinkles: Fold in half of the sprinkles gently into the mixture until evenly distributed; you want them evenly spread out without deflating your delicious concoction.

Set in Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into it and spread evenly while adding remaining sprinkles on top for a pop of color.

Chill Until Firm: Refrigerate the fudge for at least two hours or until firm. Once set, cut into squares and serve them up like a pro.

Now you have an irresistible treat that’s perfect for any occasion—just watch out for sneaky hands trying to snag a piece before dinner. Enjoy making this super simple Easter fudge that’s sure to become an annual tradition in your home.

Perfecting the Cooking Process

To achieve the best fudge, melt your chocolate and butter together first, then mix in the sweetened condensed milk. Stir until smooth for an even texture.

Add Your Touch
