Ingredients

• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 3 cups white chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups jelly beans
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, allowing excess to hang over the sides for easier removal later. Lightly grease the lining with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and unsalted butter over low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to let the mixture scorch or burn.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Let the mixture cool for about 1-2 minutes, then gently fold in 1 cup of jelly beans, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for topping.

Step 5

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of jelly beans over the top, gently pressing them into the surface of the fudge to ensure they stick.

Step 7

Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.

Step 8

Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the overhanging foil or parchment paper. Cut into small squares or rectangles, wiping the knife clean after each cut for neat edges.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
