Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pastel mini chocolate eggs, divided
  • 2 tablespoons pastel sprinkles

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
  3. Heat on low, stirring constantly until the chips are completely melted and the mixture is homogenous. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  5. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of the mini chocolate eggs.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread into an even layer using a silicone spatula.
  7. Press the remaining 1/2 cup of mini chocolate eggs and the sprinkles into the surface of the fudge.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge has set completely.
  9. Lift from the pan using the parchment overhang and slice into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serve these sweet squares on a bright white platter. They look lovely next to fresh spring flowers. You can also wrap them in cellophane for cute gifts. They are perfect for an Easter egg hunt snack.

Pair a piece with a hot cup of coffee. Set the table with pastel napkins for a festive look. This fudge is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at any brunch. Your guests will love the creamy texture.

Storage & Reheating

Keep your fudge in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to two weeks. You can also freeze it for later use. Just wrap the blocks tightly in plastic wrap.

If you freeze it, let it thaw in the fridge. Do not leave it in a warm car. The white chocolate can soften quickly. It is best enjoyed straight from the refrigerator.

Tips for Best Results

  • Don’t skip the parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Avoid overheating the white chocolate or it might seize.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • Make the fudge the night before to save holiday time.
  • Add a handful of fresh summer berries if making in June.
  • Press the toppings down firmly so they stay attached.
  • Use a warm knife to get perfectly clean slices.
  • Stir the mixture gently to keep the eggs whole.

Ways to Switch It Up

  • Swap white chocolate for milk chocolate for a richer taste.
  • Use jelly beans instead of chocolate eggs for more color.
  • Add a drop of food coloring to make it pink.
  • Stir in some crushed pretzels for a salty crunch.
  • Use almond extract instead of vanilla for a different aroma.

Common Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, you definitely should make this ahead. It needs at least two hours to set properly. Making it the day before is even better for your schedule.

Can I use a different size pan?
