Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Fudge:
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Toppings:
- 1 cup pastel M&M’s
- 1/2 cup pastel sprinkles

How to Make Easy Easter Fudge

Step 1: Prep Your Baking Pan

Start by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, letting some hang over the sides. This small step makes it a breeze to lift and cut the fudge later, and there’s no sticking or fuss when it’s time to serve.

Step 2: Melt the White Chocolate and Condensed Milk

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine your white chocolate chips and the full can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly—slow and steady—until the chocolate is silky smooth with no lumps. Patience here guarantees a creamy base for your Easy Easter Fudge.

Step 3: Stir In the Vanilla

Once the mixture is perfectly melted, remove it from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract. This simple addition brings out the best in the chocolate, making the fudge taste truly homemade and special.

Step 4: Add the First Layer of Candy

Acting quickly before the fudge starts to set, gently fold in half of your pastel M&M’s and half of your sprinkles. This distributes the candies throughout and ensures that every piece of fudge gets a festive mix of color and texture.

Step 5: Spread and Decorate

Pour the creamy mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly to the edges. Immediately sprinkle the remaining M&M’s and sprinkles over the top, pressing down just a little so they stick. This double layer of decoration guarantees your Easy Easter Fudge will look as gorgeous as it tastes.

Step 6: Chill and Slice

Pop the dish into the refrigerator and let the fudge chill for at least two hours, or until set. Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and slice into bite-sized squares. Now comes the hard part: trying not to eat half the batch before sharing!

How to Serve Easy Easter Fudge

Garnishes

While Easy Easter Fudge is vibrant all on its own, you can take it up a notch with extra pastel sprinkles, a drizzle of melted white chocolate, or even edible glitter. These finishing touches add fun and flair, making your fudge the star of any dessert spread.

Side Dishes

Pair your fudge with fresh berries, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a spring-inspired fruit salad. The creamy sweetness of the fudge is perfectly balanced by lighter, fruity flavors, creating a satisfying and festive dessert platter.

Creative Ways to Present

Try packaging the squares in clear cellophane bags tied with pastel ribbons for the cutest homemade gifts. Or, line a pretty spring basket with tissue paper and arrange the fudge alongside other Easter treats. For parties, serve on a cake stand or decorative platter for an easy yet impressive display.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Keep any leftover Easy Easter Fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It stays fresh and delicious for up to a week, making it a fabulous make-ahead option for busy holiday hosts or sweet snackers.

Freezing

If you want to plan even further ahead, freeze individual squares of fudge layered with parchment paper between them. Store in a zip-top bag or airtight container for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving—the texture stays wonderfully creamy!

Reheating

Fudge doesn’t need reheating, but if you prefer a slightly softer texture, let the pieces rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving. This brings out the richness without melting the candy toppings.

FAQs

Can I use other types of chocolate instead of white chocolate chips?

Absolutely! Milk or dark chocolate chips give a different, richer flavor, but keep in mind the final color won’t have that signature springtime pastel look. White chocolate lets the sprinkles and M&M’s really shine.

Is it possible to make Easy Easter Fudge dairy-free?

You can swap in dairy-free white chocolate chips and a plant-based sweetened condensed milk alternative. The results are still creamy and sweet, so everyone can enjoy a square.

Can I add other mix-ins?

Definitely! Chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or crushed pastel candies all add crunch and a fun twist. Just keep total mix-ins to about 1–1½ cups so the fudge sets well.

How do I cut the fudge into neat squares?

For the cleanest cuts, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between slices. The soft fudge base (and generous bead of candy) will slice smoothly for picture-perfect pieces.

Can I double the recipe for a larger crowd?

Yes! Use a 9×13-inch pan and double all the ingredients. The chilling time may be a bit longer, but you’ll get plenty of Easy Easter Fudge to feed a crowd or fill multiple baskets.

Final Thoughts

This Easy Easter Fudge has become a must-make in my kitchen every spring, and I just know it’ll win hearts in yours. Its dazzling colors, creamy texture, and festive flair mean every bite delivers pure joy. Gather your ingredients, invite some little helpers, and treat yourself and your loved ones to a batch of Easy Easter Fudge—the sweetest way to celebrate the season!
