Bubblegum Fudge Recipe

Introduction

Bubblegum Fudge is a fun and colorful treat that combines creamy sweetness with a playful bubblegum twist. It’s perfect for parties or whenever you want a nostalgic, candy-inspired dessert that’s easy to make at home.

Ingredients

• 24 ounces (680g) bright white candy melts
• 3/4 cup (229g) sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon bubble gum flavoring
• 4 drops pink food gel color
• 1 cup miniature marshmallows
• Assorted pink sprinkles

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to help remove the fudge later.
2. Step 2: Combine the candy melts, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 40-second intervals, stirring between each, until mostly melted but still slightly lumpy.
3. Step 3: Stir the mixture until smooth, then quickly add the vanilla extract, bubble gum flavoring, and pink food gel color. Stir thoroughly with a silicone spatula until the color is even.
4. Step 4: Pour one-third of the pink mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer.
5. Step 5: Add the miniature marshmallows to the remaining pink mixture in the bowl and stir gently to coat them.
6. Step 6: Spread the marshmallow mixture evenly over the first layer in the pan using an offset spatula.
7. Step 7: Sprinkle assorted pink sprinkles over the top and chill the fudge in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours until fully set.
8. Step 8: Lift the fudge out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 16 equal squares before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use a silicone spatula to mix the candy melts for easy scraping and better control.
• For extra bubblegum flavor, add a small candy gum ball on top of each fudge square before chilling.
• If you prefer a smoother texture, gently press the marshmallows into the first layer instead of stirring them in.
• Swap out pink sprinkles for different colored ones to customize the look for special occasions.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly. You can also freeze the fudge for up to one month; thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use a different flavor instead of bubble gum?

Do I have to use white candy melts?

White candy melts are best for achieving the bright bubblegum pink color, but you can experiment with other colors or types of melting chocolates if you prefer a different look and flavor.
