(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment to help prevent sticking.
Melt the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is smooth. Do not allow it to boil or scorch.
Add Vanilla and Salt: Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavor.
Stir in the Sprinkles: Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes to prevent the sprinkles from melting. Fold in the red, white, and blue sprinkles gently until evenly incorporated.
Pour and Smooth: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top. Add extra sprinkles on top if desired for decoration.
Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours, or until it is completely firm and set.
Slice and Serve: Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into squares using a sharp knife. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Servings and Timing

Servings: Approximately 16-20 squares, depending on size
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Additional Time: 3 hours (for chilling)

Variations

Different Sprinkles: Change the sprinkles to match any holiday or celebration. Use pastel-colored sprinkles for Easter or pink and red for Valentine’s Day.
Add Nuts: If you like a little crunch, try adding some chopped nuts, like almonds or pecans, to the fudge mixture before chilling.
Flavored Fudge: You can substitute the white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store the Confetti Fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Freezing: This fudge freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
Reheating: There is no need to reheat the fudge. It’s best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use chocolate chips other than white chocolate?

Yes! You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips if you prefer a different flavor, but white chocolate provides a creamy and sweet base that complements the sprinkles best.

Can I make this fudge without sweetened condensed milk?

Sweetened condensed milk is key to giving the fudge its creamy texture. Substituting it with another ingredient may alter the texture and consistency, but if needed, you can experiment with alternatives like heavy cream and sugar.

How do I prevent the fudge from being too soft?

Make sure to let the fudge set in the fridge for at least 3 hours, or until completely firm. If it’s too soft after chilling, it may not have been mixed properly or fully set, so ensure you give it enough time to cool.

Can I make this fudge in a different size pan?

Yes! You can use a larger or smaller pan, but the fudge will be thinner or thicker depending on the size. If you use a larger pan, the fudge will be more spread out, and you may need to reduce the chilling time slightly.

How can I make this fudge more colorful?

For a more colorful twist, you can add some extra layers of colored fudge, or swirl in food coloring to the mixture before pouring it into the pan.

Can I add more flavorings to the fudge?

Yes! You can add a teaspoon of almond, hazelnut, or mint extract to the base for an added flavor kick. Just be sure to adjust the sweetness accordingly.

Can I use other types of sprinkles?

While jimmies and nonpareils are ideal for this recipe, you can use any type of sprinkles you prefer, including sugar crystals or even mini chocolate chips.

Can I cut the fudge into different shapes?

Absolutely! You can use cookie cutters to shape the fudge into fun shapes, like stars, hearts, or squares, for a more festive presentation.

How do I make sure the fudge slices cleanly?

Make sure the fudge is completely firm and set before cutting. A sharp knife and a quick, clean cut will help ensure neat squares. If it sticks, run the knife under hot water and wipe it dry between cuts.

Can I make this fudge ahead of time?

Yes! This fudge is ideal for making ahead of time and chilling in the fridge. In fact, it tastes even better after it’s had time to set.
