Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2 bags white chocolate chips (11–12 oz each)
- 1 container vanilla frosting (16 oz)
- 2 cups Lucky Charms marshmallows
- St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil, ensuring there is an overhang for easy removal. Lightly spray the lining with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt White Chocolate: Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth without any lumps.
- Soften Frosting: Microwave the vanilla frosting for about 30 seconds until it becomes slightly softened and pourable, which helps in blending it seamlessly with the chocolate.
- Combine Frosting and Chocolate: Stir the warm frosting into the melted white chocolate thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully integrated.
- Fold in Marshmallows: Gently fold 1½ cups of Lucky Charms marshmallows into the white chocolate mixture, working quickly to prevent it from setting before they are evenly distributed.
- Spread and Decorate: Evenly spread the mixture into the prepared baking pan using a spatula. Press the remaining ½ cup of marshmallows and optional St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles on top for garnish and added texture.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until it becomes firm. Use the parchment or foil overhang to lift the set fudge from the pan and slice into 36 squares for serving.
Notes
- Work quickly after adding the marshmallows because the fudge mixture sets fast.
- Chill the fudge completely before slicing to ensure clean, neat cuts.
- Use parchment paper or foil with an overhang to make removing the fudge easier.
- Optional festive sprinkles enhance the presentation for St. Patrick’s Day.
