Creamy festive fudge studded with pastel candies, ideal for spring celebrations and sweet treats.
# Ingredient List:
→ Base
01 - 3 cups white chocolate chips
02 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
03 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
04 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
→ Add-ins & Topping

# Directions:
01 - Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.

04 - Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
05 - Sprinkle the remaining candy eggs and pastel sprinkles evenly over the surface, gently pressing them in.
06 - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- No candy thermometer required and practically foolproof
- The creamy white chocolate base balances the crunch of candy eggs perfectly
02 -
- Low and slow melting prevents the white chocolate from becoming grainy or separating
- Room temperature ingredients help everything melt together more smoothly
03 -
- Chop the candy eggs into varied sizes, some fine and some chunky, for better texture throughout
- Press the topping candies gently but firmly so they stay put during cutting
