M&M White Chocolate Fudge Recipe
Introduction
This M&M White Chocolate Fudge is a sweet and colorful treat that’s perfect for sharing or gifting. Creamy white chocolate combined with marshmallow fluff and crunchy M&M’s makes it irresistibly delicious and fun to eat.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup butter
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 7 oz marshmallow fluff
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup M&M’s (divided)
Instructions
- Step 1: Butter or grease a 9 x 9 inch pan. Set aside.
- Step 2: In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a rolling boil. Boil for about 3 minutes, until the temperature reaches 234º F. You can also test by dropping a little syrup into cold water; it should form a soft ball.
- Step 3: Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the white chocolate chips and marshmallow fluff, stirring until fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract, then fold in 1 cup of the M&M’s gently.
- Step 4: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of M&M’s on top and gently press them into the fudge.
- Step 5: Allow the fudge to set until firm, about 90 minutes, before cutting and serving.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of salt or a few drops of almond extract instead of vanilla.
- You can substitute the M&M’s with other colorful candies or chopped nuts to change the texture and look.
- If you don’t have a candy thermometer, use the cold water test carefully to ensure the right consistency.
Storage
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. If your kitchen is warm, keep it in the refrigerator to prevent melting. Reheat gently at room temperature if it hardens too much.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular milk instead of evaporated milk?
Evaporated milk helps achieve the right creamy texture and consistency. Using regular milk may make the fudge too soft or grainy.
How do I know when the fudge is done cooking?
The fudge reaches the right stage at 234º F (soft ball stage). If you don’t have a thermometer, test by dropping a small amount of the boiling mixture into cold water; it should form a soft, pliable ball that flattens when removed.

Ingredients
Fudge Base
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup butter
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 7 oz marshmallow fluff
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 1 1/2 cup M&M’s (divided: 1 cup for folding in, 1/2 cup for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Butter or grease a 9 x 9 inch pan thoroughly to ensure the fudge does not stick. Set aside while you prepare the fudge mixture.
- Cook the sugar mixture: In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until it reaches a rolling boil. Continue boiling for about 3 minutes until the temperature reaches 234º F (soft ball stage). You can also test the stage by dropping a bit of mixture into cold water—it should form a soft ball.
- Add chocolate and marshmallow fluff: Remove the saucepan from heat. Immediately stir in the white chocolate chips and marshmallow fluff until everything is melted and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Fold in M&M’s: Gently fold in 1 cup of M&M’s into the fudge mixture, making sure they are evenly distributed without breaking them.
- Pour and top: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup M&M’s over the top and gently press them into the surface.
- Let set: Allow the fudge to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 90 minutes or until firm. Once hardened, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Make sure to use a candy thermometer for accurate temperature readings to achieve the perfect fudge texture.
- Do not skip the step of gently pressing the M&M’s on top to ensure they stick after setting.
- For easier removal, line the pan with parchment paper before greasing.
- This fudge keeps well stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
