Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (16 ounces / 453 grams) container vanilla frosting
- 1 cup Butterfinger baking bits
- 1 cup mini Reeses Pieces
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
Garnish:
- 1 cup Butterfinger baking bits (for topping)
- 1 cup mini Reeses Pieces (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare a square baking dish by lining it with aluminum foil, ensuring edges extend over the sides for effortless removal of the fudge.
- Melt white chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring consistently until the mixture transforms into a glossy, uniform liquid.
- Remove the lid from vanilla frosting and microwave for approximately 30 seconds, creating a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Integrate the warmed frosting into the melted white chocolate mixture, whisking thoroughly until achieving a seamless blend.
- Allow the mixture to rest and slightly cool for 5-7 minutes, periodically stirring to maintain a fluid texture and prevent rapid solidification.
- Fold in Butterfinger baking bits and mini Reeses Pieces, ensuring even distribution throughout the fudge base.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly and gently pressing additional candy pieces across the surface for decorative texture.
- Let the fudge set at room temperature for 2-3 hours or refrigerate for approximately 1 hour until completely firm.
- Once solidified, extract the fudge using foil edges, slice into bite-sized squares, and preserve in an airtight container for up to one week.
Notes
- Prepare your workspace by ensuring all ingredients are measured and ready before starting, preventing last-minute scrambling.
- Maintain low, steady heat when melting chocolate to avoid burning or seizing, which can ruin the smooth texture of the fudge.
- Use a rubber spatula for stirring to scrape down sides and ensure even mixing, preventing unincorporated ingredients.
- Customize the recipe by swapping Butterfinger and Reeses Pieces with alternative candies like crushed Oreos or chopped nuts for different flavor profiles.
- Allow fudge to cool at room temperature for a softer, creamier texture, or refrigerate for a firmer, more slice-able consistency.
- Create a gluten-free version by checking that all candy and ingredients are certified gluten-free before preparing.
