Ingredients

• 3 cups White chocolate chips
• 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Mini rainbow gumdrops
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set it aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat.

Step 3

Stir the mixture constantly with a heatproof spatula until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the ingredients are smooth and well combined, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes before folding in the mini rainbow gumdrops. Stir gently so the colors don’t bleed too much.

Step 6

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with the spatula.

Step 7

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.

Step 8

Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a cutting board.

Step 9

Cut the fudge into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges.

Step 10

Store the gumdrop fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
