Oh yeah. I went there.
I have to admit that while I am totally anti-pre-made mixes when it comes to baking and cooking, I have a weakness for funfetti cake mix and vanilla canned frosting. I mean, come on. Fake? Absolutely. Delicious? No doubt about it.
I always always ALWAYS am looking for ways to replicate the flavoring using natural ingredients. Maybe the fact that I’ve struggled with this for weeks (months? years?) speaks to how artificial the ingredients in those things are. After scouring the internet for cake batter flavored baked goods, I was annoyed that everything I looked at called for a box mix. So I was determined to make cake batter fudge, even if it meant testing and modifying it myself (I know, life is sooo hard). Luckily, the result is UNBELIEVABLE. And, would you believe it, so incredibly simple! It actually tastes like cake batter from the box. And it looks adorable! WIN.
[EDITED: Some of you were having issues in regards to the fudge setting, so I think I finally worked out the kinks! The new proportions will make more fudge, and I have adjusted the recipe accordingly. Happy baking!)
Funfetti Cake Batter Fudge
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
3.5 cups white chocolate chips
3 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Almond Extract
Rainbow Sprinkles
Pour milk and white chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 2-3 minutes, or until white chocolate is almost completely melted. DO NOT OVERHEAT. Stir until completely blended, melted, and smooth.
Immediately add vanilla and almond and combine thoroughly. Add a handful or so of rainbow sprinkles and fold in quickly, because they will melt (and if they are stirred for too long they’ll turn the fudge an ugly muddy color).
Transfer to an aluminum-foil lined 8×8 inch baking pan for very thick fudge, or a 11X7 pan (recommended). Let set at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Once set, cut into cubes (and peel off the foil!). Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool place.
OH. MY. GOSH. This is absolute genius! Thank you for creating this incredible recipe. I couldn’t agree more about funfetti. I watched a wedding show where they decided to have funfetti as their wedding cake and even though everyone else criticized them I thought the idea was perfection. And I’ve never tried making fudge so this will be fun!
You might be my long lost sister… I refuse to use anything from a box, and I share your frustration with recipes that include boxed mixes! Thanks so much for this recipe, sprinkles make everything better
So so true
So I am not much of a cook, but this looks incredibly good. The only thing that I cannot figure out is does it have a box of actual funfetti cake mix in the fudge?
Nope! That’s the point- I wanted to recreate the flavor without adding the artificial packaged mix!
Im obsessed with funfetti cake! I recently tried to make fudge and it didnt set. I was all about to give up on fudge till I saw this! Beautiful job!
Im on the anti box mix bandwagon too. Loving the funfetti fudge!!!!!
Looks delicious! I think this would be awesome at Christmas with green and red sprinkles, very festive!
There is a peppermint version that I make for Christmas with chunks of candy cane… it’s actually TO DIE FOR. That recipe will definitely be up in a couple months!
I imagine it probably tastes a lot like peppermint bark
yes it does… and it’s soooo good. it’s always gone in seconds!
Looks and sounds yummy! I can’t wait to try it!

Nice. Simple and sweet
I have been DYING to get my hands on some Biscoff Spread! I haven’t tried it yet!

I’m sorry, but what is this? -I’m from Denmark and wondering
Funfetti is an American boxed cake mix with sprinkles- it’s not very natural though, so I tried to recreate it in fudge form!
Our little girls will love making this! Thanks for the post : )
Looks great!!! I don’t know about all of the sprinkles though… The round crunchy ones might be too much for my teeth. If I made this I would probably use a more softer sprinkle:)
I made this yesterday with the round sprinkles on top, and I was worried about them being too hard on the teeth as well, but they’re actually not. I think sitting on the fudge in the fridge for a couple of hours softens them a bit, so you get a little crunch but it’s not hard at all.
This is my favorite. Cake batter??? Oh, you made my day! Thank you for sharing this and I will definitely link back to you *when* I make this myself and share it on my blog!

Oh, this is awesome! I, too, have a weakness for funfetti! I am making this as soon as I can!!
Wonderful! DIY yourself is the way to go and, if my mother in law has taught me anything, it is that anything made with soul is always going to taste best. “Hippineness” is in your name….you don’t happen to be a vegetarian as well do you!?!?

Ohhhh Sprinkles! I can’t control my eating habits when I see those colorful ants. I want to try those fudges. Are they for sale? hehe How much would you charge with shipping to USA?
I never thought about putting them up for sale! Maybe I’ll have to do a giveaway soon. But if you’re really dying for them, shoot me an email and we can figure something out
Yummmmmm. They look great!

Heck yes to funfetti! Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
This looks absolutely divine. I’m dying to try it!
Never heard of funfetti before but this sounds great. Being a microwave recipe the kids will be able to have a go on their own. I have an egg allergy kid too, so finding cooking that involves him being able to lick the bowl makes a happy day! Thanks!!

Haven’t even tasted it, and I have already fallen into a sweet, sweet, sugar coma. Pure bliss. Thank you for the wonderful idea!
looks completely delicious!!!
=D That’s a great idea! Do you think it would work as good with milk chocolate?
I think it would definitely work, but obviously the flavors will be less like cake batter and more like actual chocolate fudge!
I make this with milk chocolate all the time (sometimes different fillings) works a treat.
Also love to add cranberries and pistachios for a christmas option
Yep it’s a pretty no-fail way to make different kinds of fudge!
Makes me drool just by looking at it.
Your blog is my new favorite thing! Kindred spirits for sure.
This looks absolutely amazing! How many does this make? Maybe a dozen? My daughter wants me to bake something for school this week. I was going to do some cupcakes, but I may try this instead!!
it depends how small you cut them, but I would say that one batch for me makes about 24.
Question: What if you don’t like white chocolate? Is there a dark chocolate or milk chocolate option?
Sorry, I just read the other person’s comment asking the same thing. Nevermind!
I love funfetti cake and I am definatly going to try this recipe. When I make my cakes I usualy put some cream cheese icing on it, so I might see if there is a way to incorporate that into this fudge. Thanks for posting this, can’t wait to try it.
The pretty sprinkles attracted me immediately! This looks delish!! Will be following your colorful, mouthwatering blog!!!!
I do not like fudge, but I love white chocolate and when I saw this I had to make it. It is so so so delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe and the delight!

Oh my goodness … I am in love. I love rainbows. I love sprinkles. I love cake batter. I love fudge. Merge that all together and what do you have? Someone who starts drooling over the outcome. Looks heavenly!
My daughter has turned us onto the boxed version of funfetti cookies. They are so great (she always makes them, we never do). I would love a non-boxed cookie version too, but my husband is drooling over the pictures, so fudge is in the near future. Great post, thanks and congrats on FP! AmberLena
This is adorable, fun, and absolutely on my list of things to do. I am going to bookmark this right now. It seems I am not alone in this opinion either.
I’m a guy and I’m usually the primary cook in the family. Funny eh?
However this looks delicious…I’m gonna leave a tip for your readers for if they don’t have condensed milk and/or don’t have 3 bucks to spend on a can of it:
1) Pour 1/2 cup of boiling water into a blender.
2) Add 1 cup of nonfat dry milk.
3) Add 2/3 cup sugar.
4) Add 3 tablespoons of melted butter.
5) Add a few drops of vanilla.
6) Cover and blend on high speed for 30 seconds or until smooth.
7) Remove from the blender.
Use in a recipe immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator. Makes the equivalent of a 14-ounce can of fat free condensed milk.
Again this recipe looks like pure genius…..funfetti is one of my favorites too! Such genius! Marry me?
….j/k
thanks for the tip
Wow, love it and did you take those photos yourself? They look amazing!!!! Sprinkles are awesome
yep, took the pictures myself! thank you!
This is amazing! I can’t say I have a great hand at baking, but I’d be a fool for not giving this a try! Absolute genius!
Some things just have to be done. Food snobs should be ignored. Treats like these should be shared!
Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Amazing win! Looks apsolutely divine. I’d love to try this but I’m vegan and I’m not sure it’d work so well with soya milk etc. Beautiful photos and lucky you! xxx
http://www.veganwolf.com/recipes/basics/swcondmilk.htm – that’s a recipe for vegan sweetened condensed milk….can try substituting splenda although it probably won’t melt like you have to do in this recipe…can also try substituting soy milk powder for the non-fat dry milk in the recipes I posted where all you have to do is mix it all up in a blender….and in those ones you could probably sub splenda for the sugar if you wanted too although I believe there’s some debate about whether or not splenda is a vegan product
GREAT. Now I’m going to have to make these! Just when my thighs thought they were going to get a break!
Yess! This looks absolutley amazing!!! I can’t wait to makee it!!!!!!!!
Oh em gee that is F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C. I’ve got such a sweet tooth too! Fudge trumps toffee any day. Lovely post, super-duper colourful.

A post I’ve always wanted! I agree with you in your anti cake box views but I do have a horrible sweet spot for anything funfetti…you need to make funfetti cake balls with vanilla candy coating…to die for but horrible all the same. Great post!
another tip for diabetics….you can make sugar-free fat-free sweetened condensed milk:
1/2 cup cold water
1 1/3 cups powdered milk
3/4 cup Splenda granular
1 teaspoon vanilla
mix in blender…yields 1 1/3 cups
and they’ve started making sugar-free baking chips too….my mom found sugar free baking chip in regular chocolate for the choc. shoo-fly pie we’re doing for our Oktoberfest meal today….I don’t know if they have sugar-free baking chips in white chocolate yet though
Ooh. Cake Batter Fudge must be divine. I always try to make my kids pick cake batter ice cream when it’s their turn to choose a flavor.

OK, I just made this for a little girls birthday gift and mine are so thin! How did you get yours into such pretty blocks? I used the 8×8 pan and the same ingredients but yours are so much nicer looking then my 1/8 inch slices! I have enought ingredients and time to make another batch and they sure taste good so I’ll have no problem leaving these ugly ones behind! Thanks!
Hmmm, I’m not sure, since my 8X8 always works… Do you have a smaller pan, like a bread loaf pan? That would make them thicker. Otherwise, maybe just double the recipe, or add more chocolate chips this time?
it’s approaching my bedtime, but i just got a sugar rush from looking at this blog. im hungry now. for sugar. fudgy, cake battery, sprinkly tastiness. thanks for sharing!
Almost 10:00 Sunday night – - too late for an adventure this weekend, but g-babies will be here next! Can’t wait to try your recipe – we love anything “fun-fetti” too! Thank you for sharing.
I love this idea, and am definately going to make some (I’m not a big ‘cake batter’ flavor fan, but the hubs and daughter are!) but I have a question – your finished product shows the little round sprinkles while your “making it” pics show the longer, softer sprinkles… which works best, do you use both, (one in and one on) or…?? Thanks!
I use the softer ones for the insides, and sprinkled the smaller ones (non-pareils) on top! But I think they’re pretty interchangeable.
Awesome – thanks!

Pingback: Holy sweet tooth | Research and Development
Awesome. I want to make this! Question: husband and I hate microwaves, so, we don’t have one. Is there any other way to blend and melt the condensed milk/ white chocolate chips? Double boiling? I’ve never tried it, but know it is sometimes able to accomplish the same thing as a microwave.
Aun Aqui
I just made a different kind of condensed milk fudge this morning, and double boiling worked perfectly
This looks like so much fun!! I may have to put a Halloween version together. Thanks for sharing!
I NEED to try this!!!!! So simple… I may do this with Christmas colours this year… What a good idea!
I just have to tell you- I made this yesterday, but I first baked a pretty standard pie/bar crust and once it cooled I put your amazing mix on top and it was FANTASTIC.
this looks divine! i love that there are TWO kinds of sprinkles..
Question: do you think it would taste the same without the almond extract? Nut allergy here
Not sure, since in my opinion , the almond extract adds a lot of the funfetti kind of taste. You can try butter extract though- it’s found at craft/baking stores.
I made it without the almond extract (didn’t even sub it for anything else, just left it out) and the fudge was still delicious, although I’m sure it didn’t taste the same as the original! I’m Australian, though, so I have no idea what Funfetti cake tastes like and so wasn’t missing out on anything
Give it a try, though, it’s still tasty!
I showed all my Australian friends about Funfetti – and now we have a new recipe! YAY!

i just tried this recipie, and let me say, im not a white chocolate person and i usually don’t eat a lot of my desserts, but i can’t wait until they finish cooling so i can have a piece. i did have some difficulty with some chips not melting, any pointers?
Usually it takes a little while and some patience to get all the chips melted; just keep stirring! You really really want to avoid overheating the chocolate or else it will seize, but if the chips still really aren’t melting, put the mixture in the microwave for a few seconds at a time.
DELICIOUS. made it a few minutes ago. dying for it to set!
Let me know how it tastes

Pingback: Why make cake batter-flavored goodies when you can just make cake batter? « Entirely Adequate
Hats off to you for solving my problem. My teenager has a B-day coming up and his favorite cake is confetti cake and you cannot find this in Hong Kong anywhere. He also loves fudge and I can get everything else on your list. So now I am good to go. Take Care
This is definitely a unique fudge recipe
My advice- go easy on the almond. Maybe add a little at a time and taste it?
When I made it, I found the almond flavor a little overwhelming- maybe the extract I bought is extra potent or something? Anyway at the party people seemed to like it! I thought if I make it again, maybe I’d leave out the almond, but upon trying it again the morning after the party, the almond taste didn’t seem as strong and I think it definitely needs some in there. So just do a little at a time
Absolutely! Definitely adjust it to your own taste
Pingback: Soy sauce « kaysootee
My fudge isn’t nearly as white as yours. The Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk was a very dark tan/beige and I guess that’s why. What kind of milk do you use? Mine tasted amazing, but it would have been prettier (like yours) had it not been a light caramel color.
That’s too bad! I’m pretty sure mine is Nestle Carnation brand.

I’d say a few hours, but you can definitely cut down on that time in the freezer or fridge. Probably 1-2!
Is there a substitute for the Almond Extract? (I’m allergic to it)f

The taste will obviously be slightly different, but I would just go ahead and substitute more vanilla extract! If you’re not allergic to coconut extract, that might work well too

Pingback: Funfetti Fudge….. « Life's a classroom
i made this recipe last night and i am not sure if there was too much vanilla or too much almond for my taste. do you have any suggestions??
Hi Mary,
It really depends on your taste! I personally like the almondy flavor, but it is the stronger extract of the two, so that’s probably what was throwing it off for you. Just adding a drop or two should be enough. And the vanilla is far more subtle, so feel free to scale it up if you wish!
Thanks for Sharing! I also have a weakness for funfetti and can’t wait to make these for my daughter’s bday…she doesn’t like cake. I cook from scratch just like my mom but I cheat on cakes.
Definitely following your blog. Love the name!
Holy Moly! I just stumbled across your blog through pinterest and I will most definitely be back! Funfetti is my FAVORITE
Happy Sunday!!!!
Does it taste at all like white chocolate? I don’t like white chocolate but this looks so fun!
It definitely has a white chocolate taste to it… you can definitely sub with milk or dark chocolate if you want, though!
I tried making this and it was delicious. My one dissappointment was that it didn’t set up, it was very “melty”. Any suggestions?
I’ve never had issues with this but it seems like a lot of people are… it’s probably because my measurements aren’t exact and I tend to eyeball things (bad, I know!) I’m going to make these now according to my specific measurements listed and then adjust the proportions as needed.
I made this fudge two days ago and it was very very good BUT it would not set for nothing! The top got hard but the bottoms were just basically staying gooey. And when I tried currying the pieces out the aluminm foil it was just sticking to the foil!
(
I followed the directions just as you wrote so I don’t understand what happened . Any suggestions? ?
Editing the proportions right now!
Okay, thank you! Let us know n.city did love it. Just too gooey! Maybe too much condensed milk??
Yep, that was the problem! It needed a little more chocolate chips in proportion to the milk. I just edited the post, so it should work out better next time you make it! Let me know
Oh great! I will most likely try it again this weekend! I will definitely let you know and thank you for responding so quick!!
Thanks for editing the proportions. I just tried another batch before I read this..drat! Anyway, I will see how this goes and then try with more chips over the weekend. We all adore the taste of it. Thanks so very much, once perfected I am sure it is going to be a family favorite.
I don’t mind using box mixes and found a recipe that puts in 3.5 tbsps of the funfetti mix instead of the vanilla and almond extract. Do you think it would have the same effect?
I honestly can’t say. It seems like it would, but I think you would just have to try and see. I created the recipe trying to avoid box mixes entirely, so that’s how the proportions played out for me. But give it a try and let me know!
Pingback: I have a secret… | Tangled Thoughts
I made this last night and it was so easy and delicious! It literally took me 5 mins to prepare. I have been looking for a peanut butter fudge that is just as easy & can be made in the microwave so my daughter can help.. think I could substitute the white choc chips for the peanut butter chips??
Sure! I think lots of variations of different chips (butterscotch, chocolate, etc.) would work.
If you use a darker chip, is there any point in putting the “confetti” in the mixture? Would it show up? Maybe just sprinkle on top if you are going to do that?

Okay, so I made one batch today and it didn’t set (only the top). I just made another batch (about 2 hours ago) and put it in the fridge this time. It is still all wiggly and runny. I have no clue what I am doing wrong! The first batch, I used 14 ounces of condensed milk (like the recipe), and it was runny. The second batch, I used just 12 oz and I’m still having the same problem. UGH! I SOOO want to try this! Any hints??
I’ve tried the edited recipe and so have a few other people with good results, so I don’t know what to say!
Maybe try adding more white chocolate?? I’m sorry!
Came across your recipe on Pinterest and made it today. I have never made fudge before and this was as simple as pie. I followed all instructions and it came out beautifully. I’m not a fudge gal, but it makes a great treat to bring to the office or as a hostess gift.
I’m so happy it turned out well!
is it 3 1/2 cups of white chocolate or 3 to 5 cups?
3 1/2 cups!

I made these with red and green sprinkles for my son’s class. I will surely be a kindergarten rock star.
Hahaha that’s so great! Sprinkles bring joy to all ages
I found this on pinterest and was so excited. I hosted a cookie exchange today and figured although this wasn’t cookies, it HAD to be shared. About 45 minutes before my party I went to cut this and put it out. It was a huge sticky mess of mush. Tasted good, but completely unpresentable. I followed your “new” recipe that was supposed to set, but alas, this did NOT set. I whipped up a super quick version of homemade oreos but I still have a plate of this yummy tasting, horrible looking fudge. Such a bummer. I was rooting for it too
That’s a shame. I’ve never had a problem with it setting! Honestly, it could just be a difference in brands for the condensed milk or white chocolate… sometimes slightly different ingredients just set the balance off. I’m sorry though!
Hi There!
So I love your recipe! I tried it and it works great! I write for an online newspaper for Provo, Utah and submitted your recipe. (crediting you of course) but they liked it so much they want to print it in the paper making linking to your site impossible from witten paper. So I am e-mailing to get permission to use your recipe in the paper with credit going to you. Please let me know ASAP if you would allow this! Thanks

That’s so sweet of you to think of me! It’s absolutely fine

Just finished mixing it all up for a work meeting tomorrow, I’ll let you know how it goes!
Just to follow up, it was a little sweet for me but had great cake batter-y flavor! Everyone at my office loved it!

This is so yummy! Thank you for a wonderful recipe!!
Do you taste the almond extract?? If so, can it be omitted. Cant wait to try it!!!!
You can definitely taste it but I personally think it adds to the cake-y taste. It can certainly be omitted if you don’t like it though!
I can’t wait to try this next weekend after the week of night shift doom.

Is it “legit” white chocolate? or the almond bark chips? Because most of the white chocolate chips I find dont seem to be real white chocolate… except for Godiva brand… so I just want to make sure I use the right thing.
I used Nestle White Chocolate chips.
hello, i really want to try this but im nervous. all the fudges i make have evaporated milk and marshmallows in them..for a smooth creamy fudge. and i noticed there is no actual cake mix in the recipe..does this still come out like that or is it the kind of fudge that is crumbly?
thanks!
No, it’s very smooth and creamy! The purpose of the cake mix would have only been to add its flavoring. But that was the purpose of the recipe… to make a version replicating that flavor without the artificiality of the cake mix!
Hello, this looks GREAT! I have all the ingredents out and ready to start baking.. but we dont have any colored sprinkles, just white sugar spinkles… Do I need to use sprinkles, or can I use the white kind?
Thank you!!
It won’t change the flavor at all, it just won’t look like funfetti

Im making this for my birthday but I wanted to see how it would turn out with the mini chocolate chips instead of the sprinkles folded in. I tried it and they melted so fast that it made swirls in the batter and it looks awesome! I cant wait for it to set so I can try it!
oh my goodness that sounds AMAZING. please please please let me know how it turns out!!!
Hello there! Can I use the equivalent amount of white almond bark and receive the same results as using white chocolate chips you think? If so I am going to go whip this up RIGHT NOW. I use the almond bark to make white covered pretzels, and it tastes like white chocolate, so I was hoping I could use it and save myself having to head to the store! Thanks again, great recipe.
Sure! I’m sure that’s fine; let me know how it goes!
I’ve made a similar recipe (used white almond bark) but the recipe called for chopped-up gumdrops instead. Still very pretty and tastes nice too. I will have to try the sprinkles, though…
This didn’t set for me and I’m not sure why. I used fat free sweetened condensed milk a bag of white chocolate chips and the same amount of vanilla and almond plus sprinkles. I left it in the fridge over night. It lost its shape completely when I tried to peel off the tin foil. Ideas? Anyone else this happen too? I love the idea and I don’t want to give up yet!
My guess is that it’s because you used fat free condensed milk. A lot of times the fat is what binds it together.
Regular bags of chips are only 2 cups so the recipe should need almost 2 bags.
The same thing happened to me but I didn’t use fat free milk. I used Nestle white chocolate chips and followed the recipe to the “T”. Please let me know what you find out or come up with! This stuff is too dang good to NOT make again!!!

Love this idea.gluten free here so can’t have funfetti but dure remember the taste.can’t wait to try.
Just tried it. Its setting as I write this. I’m hoping it does work with white almond bark because all I could find was ghiradelli white chips and they were quite costly. Cant wait to taste it.
If I used a somewhat equal amount of almond bark, would that work instead of the white chocolate chips? I might have to do some calculation because of the volume difference?
i think it will probably be the same, but let me know how it turns out!
It turned out pretty well. The bottom was a little sticky/didn’t set as well as the top. I wasn’t sure of the exact amount I used of the almond bark because it it what I had leftover from Christmas time. Very yummy. Sadly, it is very near me and I keep sneaking too many bites!

This tasted SOOOOO good! I was a little disappointed that it is too soft to hold a good shape once cut. Maybe it’s our humidity or altitute here in Mississippi? What can I do to firm it up a little?
Hmmm, I’m not sure what’s causing it! I think the best thing to do is maybe decrease the ratio of condensed milk to white chocolate chips. Let me know if that works a little better!
Oh goodness! I really didn’t need to see this! Now I’ll be dreaming about this all night til I can get to the grocery store! Thanks for sharing…I think!

I love this stuff! First time I made it, I used the original recipe you posted and it camenout great so I’m not sure why a lot of people had problems! Any way I can get you to email the original recipe to me!? If you still have it!? Pretty please
have you tried it with milk chocolate instead of white?
Milk chocolate will work, but it won’t really be funfetti then.
Hey! So I followed directions but mine didn’t set correctly? I left mine in the fridge for a little over an hour but when I tried cutting them into squares, they were too soft and stuck/melted onto the foil. So I put them into the freezer… How long should I keep them in the fridge?
You should keep it in the fridge until it sets. The setting issue might be due to a different brand of white chocolate or condensed milk- sometimes the chemistry is a little off. Give it another try and let me know how it works out!

My sister in law did funfetti! It was great and it is her favorite cake, why not? It’s your wedding cake, if other people do not like it, oh well. That is what I have told all my friends when they stressed out, your wedding, your choice. I stuck to that when planning my own wedding and everyone loved everything we did, because we made it us. My husband mostly nodded his head and agreed, but there were some things he did take charge of, like he and his Dad built our barn card box out of old barn siding, I just painted the top and and the side with our name and a Block “O”, we also had a block “O” grooms cake.
Hi..was wondering if I had to use almond extract for this? My daughter has a nut allergy are there any other suggestions?
Hi Melissa! The almond extract does add to the cakey flavor, but you can definitely sub some vanilla extract instead- it’ll still be really yummy!

I want to make a gluten free treat for a friend. Would this be suitable? It looks so good!
The only thing I would be wary about are the sprinkles- not all sprinkles are gluten free. But there are definitely gluten free brands available, so I would just do a little research to see which ones are! I know for SURE there are some at Whole Foods if you have one nearby!
This was the most perfect treat ever for my daughter’s 3rd birthday–a Sprinkles party (her idea!). Delicious, easy to make, and sturdy enough to endure our hot weather here in Phoenix. I just put some photos up on the blog with a link to your recipe here: http://tikkido.com/node/657 . Thanks so much for the recipe and fabulous post!
I’m so glad! Happy birthday to your daughter- your pictures are gorgeous!
How far ahead of time do you think I could make this? It looks yummy, and I’m considering making it for my little one’s 1st birthday to give away as the favors. Do you think I could do it a couple days ahead of time?
Absolutely! These keep well in an airtight container for a couple of weeks, especially in a cool place. I recommend the fridge for maximum freshness!
i made this and it was SOOOOOOOOOO good!!!! thanks for the recipe!!!
I tried making this and such a bummer it didn’t set! I read so far a lot of people seemed to have trouble with it setting. I noticed (by reading comments) that you used nestle white chocolate (which I used a different brand) what brand of condensed milk did you use?
Hi Amy,
I’m so sorry the recipe wasn’t setting for you! I actually edited the recipe to address the initial setting problems a few months ago and haven’t heard nearly as many complaints since then, so I’m not sure what went wrong! I used Eagle Brand condensed milk. Maybe try it again and let me know how it goes? I guess my only other suggestion is to reduce the proportion of condensed milk to white chocolate a little more.
For people who are having trouble getting the fudge to set try setting it in the refrigerator or freezer instead of at room temperature. Very hot and humid weather can prevent fudge from setting at room temperature, esp. if you don’t have central air in your house (like me….:-P)
GREAT recipe !! Easy to make and not a lot of ingredients. I made some for work and everyone loved them. Great no bake for a last minute invite to a party and not a lot of time to spend in kitchen baking or cooking. Thank you for sharing this recipe!!

I made this today after seeing it on pinterest. It was so simple, I’m not a cook by any means so if mine turned out ok then anyone can do it! It’s delicious and so fun for kids!
Great recipe! Nice and Sweet! Mine didn’t have a problem setting, but I did notice that it’s very hard to get it un-stuck from the tin foil!
This was SOOO easy to make! We are having a Christmas in August weekend and everyone knows that you have to have fudge for Christmas. =) The kids (6 and 8) loved helping and the directions were so easy to follow. It’s setting in the fridge right now, but when we licked the bowl, OH MY! it tastes REALLY good! Thank you for such a great recipe.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Christmas in August sounds AMAZING

Just make this…it looks and smells delicious! The spoon tasted great after it was done! My husband keeps trying to get into it! Excited to dig in at a party tonight!
This looks so yummy!!! Want to make if for a xmas exchange…how long do you think it will keep?
It can keep for several months in the freezer!
Thanks!!!
Did you try and make the peppermint fudge? I typed it in your recipes and it didnt pull anything up! Just wondering!
Going to try this recipe this evening!!!
It’s here! http://pursuitofhippieness.com/2011/12/07/white-peppermint-fudge/
Thank you!!! I love peppermint– got me through my pregnancy as I had Horrible heartburn and ate the candies after a lot of meals! But hubby doesnt- so funfetti for him and the kids and peppermint for me!!! Thank you!!!
Do I have to put almond extract in can I use like grand manier or something else? Kalhula maybe?
Thank you
Teresa
Of course, whatever you choose to add will change the flavor (the almond extract adds to the cakey taste in my opinion), but feel free to add whatever you want! I can actually say from experience that Grand Marnier makes a great addition

How long can you store it in fridge or at room temp?
In the fridge it will keep for 2-4 weeks, and the freezer for several months.The freezer will also ensure firmer fudge in general. Room temperature might make it a little soft after a while, so aside from display I would keep it in the fridge or freezer.
I am so excited to try this! Thank you! One question, what kind of camera did you use to take the pictures of the finished fudge? They are so amazingly crisp!
Thank you! It’s just my old Canon Powershot point and shoot. I believe the model is SD1300 IS. I also do my editing in Photoshop CS5.
eek sd5700, sorry!
I just made this for my daughter’s candy land birthday party. You did a fantastic job – this is great!
