Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups Lucky Charms cereal marshmallows (separated)

Instructions

  • Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or cooking spray to prevent any sticking.
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Your goal here is to dissolve the sugar completely and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  • Once the mixture reaches a boil, continue to boil for precisely 4-5 minutes, still stirring constantly. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect fudge consistency – too little boiling time, and your fudge will be too soft; too much, and it might become crumbly.
  • Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the white chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue stirring vigorously until the white chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  • Gently fold in about two-thirds of your Lucky Charms marshmallows. You want to incorporate them without crushing them too much, preserving their whimsical shapes and vibrant colors.
  • Once the marshmallows are evenly distributed throughout the fudge, quickly pour and spread the fudge mixture into your prepared 8×8 inch pan. Use your rubber spatula to smooth the top as much as possible, pressing it evenly into the corners of the pan.
  • Immediately scatter the remaining one-third of the Lucky Charms marshmallows over the top, gently pressing some of them into the fudge so they adhere. Optionally, drizzle with 1/4 cup melted white chocolate and sprinkles for extra decoration.
  • Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature for at least 2-3 hours, or for faster setting, place it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until firm.
  • Grasp the parchment paper overhang and gently lift the entire block of fudge out of the baking pan and onto a clean cutting board. Using a large, sharp knife, press down firmly and evenly to cut the fudge into squares of your desired size. For cleaner cuts, wipe your knife with a warm, damp cloth between each slice.
