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. Love the nails but am skeptical of the recipe, LOL! I love butterfingers but hate candy corn so it sounds a little scary 😀

    1. Made this recipe and took into work for a taste-test . . .
      No one could BELIEVE it was made with Candy Corn – everyone LOVED it! I goofed on the recipe and only used 1 cup of white chocolate chips so that made it a bit more peanut buttery tasting – but still amazing!! Definite keeper 🙂

  2. Butterfingers are my 2nd favorite candy (after SweetTarts). I’m definitely going to have to make a batch of these! YUM!!

  3. Love the nails!! And WHAT?!?! I had no clue candy corn and peanut butter made butterfinger…. yes consider mind BLOWN! I need to make this, it looks so out of this world good!

    1. SO do mine. Horrible! I never take the time to primp, file, and paint them. 🙂 It’s too boring. I’d rather eat a cupcake.

  4. I LOVE Butterfingers!! I hide them from my kids too! Oh and I totally remember my mom hiding candy around the house for the same reasons-no control! I think her best hiding spot was the trunk of the car, but we found it anyway! Love that you made this into fudge! You rock!

  5. Wowza! This looks Crazy Good! I’ve never heard of the candy corn-peanutbutter baby method … Now I wish I could un-learn it! I now want to go mix up a batch of this 🙂
