Easy Fudge Recipe

The main ingredient in this fudge is candy corn!The candy corn mixed with some peanut butter makes a butterfinger candy bar! If you don’t mind making this recipe with 5 ingredients, I like to melt some milk chocolate and drizzle it over the top of the fudge. No candy thermometer needed – just an easy fudge recipe!

This recipe is a viral TikTok recipe, the original Butterfinger Fudge with candy corn – and it’s so delicious.

Ingredients Needed

  • Candy Corn: Be sure to use fresh candy corn (from this year, not old stuff you find in your pantry).
  • Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter is definitely the way to go for this recipe.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: Turns it into fudge!
  • White Chocolate Chips: This is what helps the fudge solidify.

How to make Easy Butterfinger Fudge

  • Line a 9×9-inch pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Add Candy Corn and peanut butter to a saucepan and heat over low heat. Add sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate, stirring until smooth. This will take awhile!
  • Spread evenly in pan. Cool on counter about 15 minutes, then chill until hardened. Cut into squares.
  • If you want, you can dip the fudge in milk chocolate or drizzle chocolate over the top. Melt chocolate chips (I added a little vegetable oil to thin them) and dip the bottoms of the fudge squares in the chocolate. Set on a wax paper lined cookie sheet to harden.

Expert Tips

  • Candy corn takes a long time to melt down, which is why I recommend using a saucepan not the microwave. It works, just keep melting and stirring.
  • Make it melt faster: chop the candy corn carefully or use a food processor to chop it.
  • You can add chopped candy bars to this or dip the fudge in chocolate. I like it plain or drizzled with chocolate!

FAQs

Why didn’t my fudge set?

It could be a problem with the temperature. Make sure the milk gets hot enough!

How long does fudge last?

Fudge can last a couple weeks in the refrigerator, but can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months!

Instructions

  • Line a pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. (I used an 8×8 pan. The fudge was very thick, so if I made it again, I’d use a 9×9 pan.)
  • Add Candy Corn and peanut butter to a medium saucepan and heat, over low heat, stirring every 30 seconds or so, for about 3 minutes. Add sweetened condensed milk, stir, and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds (you don’t want the milk to boil; a slight simmer is okay). Add white chocolate chips and stir until everything melts together. (It will seem like it’s never going to melt…but it will!)
  • Spread evenly in pan. Cool on counter about 15 minutes, then chill until hardened. Cut into squares.
  • If you want, you can dip the fudge in milk chocolate. Melt chocolate chips (I added a little vegetable oil to thin them) and dip the bottoms of the fudge squares in the chocolate. Set on a wax paper lined cookie sheet to harden.

Recipe Notes

  • This fudge is a little softer and chewier than traditional fudge. But it actually tastes like a Butterfinger!
  • To make melting easier, carefully chop the candy corn first, or use a food processor to chop it.

  1. butterfingers are my ALL TIME favorite candy bar. EVER!! Even over reese’s! I am sooo intrigued about the whole candy corn/pb thing. incredible!! this fudge looks to die for and not too hard AT ALL! I love easy fudge recipes like this!! Killer Dorothy, just a killer recipe here!

  2. I love how easy it is to make butterfingers…last year I made butterfinger eyeballs. But this awesome looking fudge is way WAY cooler. I actually like how thick it is, and of course I prefer the dipped in chocolate version. I hide candy in plain sight too. There is a big bag of Reeses right in the front of the cupboard, but everyone knows that they can’t have any unless I open it and ok it:-) Gotta love being a food blogger right?

    1. Ooooh eyeballs. Cool!! I think it’s funny how kids of food bloggers know to ask first. Lest they get the wrath of the missing PB cup…

  3. LOVE the nails – I still do not see how candy corn {YUCK} and peanut butter work together – but I’ll have to try it for myself – this looks like a fudge i;d actually like

  4. Butterfingers always got stuck down in my molars. So I’d pass them over for the kit kats. My mom taught me to hide candy in the freezer.
    Like I need another reason to buy candy corn. Thanks.

    1. Totally! I think that’s what I remember most about them from when I was a kid. And you’re welcome! 😉

  5. This looks amazing!! I am pinning this to my artisan fudge board. I can’t wait to try this recipe and I hope mine turns out as pretty as yours 😉

  6. Love the Shellac Manis! The french seem to last a bit longer for me. I was full on, hands in the dirt, gardening and they did not chip! LOVE IT and LOVE this fudge. I made my homemade Butterfingers into cake pops (of course) last year and LOVED them too! I bet the fudge version is even better!

    1. It’s my first one and I love it. This afternoon I was making the bed and jammed it into the sheetrock of the wall. Came away with sheetrock in my nail…but the manicure was still perfect! Weird. And cake pops? I need to look back for that one!

  7. Oh my goodness – I need this right now!! Butterfingers are my all time fave and this looks amazing!!

  8. Dear Genius,
    You rule. And so does this amazeballs fudge. Butterfingers are my weakness. Do you believe me when I say I could easily bypass Reese’s in favor for Butterfingers? Every. Single. Time. Therefore, this fudge was basically created for me and I need some. Okay, all of it.
    Love, your BFF/neighbor-in-need-of-fudge

  9. I literally just made butterfinger fudge this week too! Mine is layered with chocolate on the bottom and top with the butterfinger mixture in between. Sadly I haven’t gotten around to posting it yet : )

    I was the same way, I just couldn’t believe that butterfingers was that easy to make! Yours is way prettier than mine, still yummy thought!
