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
It could be a problem with the temperature. Make sure the milk gets hot enough!
Fudge can last a couple weeks in the refrigerator, but can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months!
Butterfinger Fudge
Ingredients
- 3 cups Candy Corn
- 1 cup (268g) peanut butter
- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups (340g) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup (170g) milk chocolate chips , optional
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.

The boyfriend saw this and said “THAT LOOKS GOOOOOOOD!” Yes. Yes it does!
LOL! Tell him thanks. 🙂
This is genius! I love that it’s the flavor of butterfinger but won’t get all stuck in your teeth like the candy bar!! 🙂
Totally! It’s much smoother.
I think I’d do some serious damage if I had a plate full of these in front of me! Yum!
Um, yeah. I did. 🙂
Butterfinger fudge! Yumm! My husband talked me into going to the store the other day because he was craving butterfingers. This is something I’m going to have to try. Oh, and btw, I can’t follow a recipe either, lol. My family always asks me why I even buy cookbooks or spend time looking for recipes.
I know! Cookbooks are just like food porn. I love the pictures!
OMG. I can’t even believe this is a real thing. Butterfingers (and Baby Ruth) are my fave candybars ever. And made into fudge? Holy crapola, I need to get on this boat ASAP.
I LOVE the shellac mani, btw!
I love the manicure…and the fudge! Halloween costumes stress me out…but I love all the candy 🙂
Me too! And thanks! 🙂
You, my friend, have a gift!! You take two things that are delicious and amazing on their own…then you combine them into something ridiculous!! Butterfinger fudge?! Fantastic!!
Ha, thanks Tonii! I never would have thought to pair them had I not read about the combo last year!
I’m loving your new look! And of course the fudge looks DELICIOUS. My mom doesn’t have any kids at home and *still* has a candy stash. I think she hopes she’ll forget where she put it and then she won’t eat it.
(stranger things have happened.) 😉
LOL, that would never happen. And thank you!
Actually, I hid the candy so I’d always have some available for my fix. Great Butterfinger Fudge…I liked the ones dipped in chocolate.
Love, Mom
Yeah, you just wanted it all to yourself! Ha, just kidding. 🙂
The butterfinger bars sound good but the fudge sounds awesome. I’mma definitely going to make these bad boys when I order a bag of candy corn off eBay (yay for eBay).
And yes! I had the same problem as a child but my parents were quite strict so I never raided the confectionary cupboard often. My kids do the exact same, even resorting to sneaking down at night and sneaking food out! Cheeky beggars. I put a lock on the cupboard, problem solved! 😀
I feel like doing that sometimes! And you have to get candy corn on eBay? Girl, send me your address. I’ll mail you some! 🙂
