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!

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.
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.

I make this candy corn yearly in my classroom as a way to start the Fall season. Living in the Sunshine State you don’t really get to experience the changes that come with each new season. So this is a way to get my students with disabilities excited about a new season. The fudge is smooth and creamy and the perfect balance of sweetness. Sometimes we get creative and add in pieces of Butterfinger candy inside of the fudge and on top, or we drizzle with chocolate and add pieces of chopped candy corn. It does take a little patience in waiting for everything to melt, but it’s worth it.
Thank you so much for sharing. So glad you and your students like this recipe! What a wonderful Fall tradition. 🎃 🍁
I think the timings are a little off (or I had the heat lower than low LOL) but this took me nearly 40 minutes to get everything smoothly melted. I ended up using a hand mixer for last 3 minutes to get everything fully homogenized.
Used 3 loaf pans rather than 1 9×9 pan. Poured a little over 1.25-inch layer in each pan.
DELICIOUS and well worth the time!
Yes candy corn takes a LONG time to melt. Others have commented that chopping it first will help it melt faster.
not soft and chewy, can’t be made in 30 minutes, can’t put the candy corn on the bottom and of the pan or it will stick like glue. Texture is like eating a snickers bar.
Any thoughts on using a slow cooker for melting everything together?
It’s coming upon candy corn season and I’d love to make this!
You probably can – chop the candy corn first and do it on low – just be sure to stir it often so it doesn’t burn.
Amazing fudge. Grand kids and adults will love it.
Thank you, Judith!
