Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set it aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat.
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.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
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.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with the spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges.
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.
