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.

I was not thrilled, or even happy with this. I mean, it’s fine, but that’s it. It’s not really good and it definitely doesn’t taste like Butterfinger to me. I’m so disappointed in this. I was really looking forward to Butterfinger fudge and was teasing all my friends about it. Looks like I’ll have to eat crow on this one 🙁
I’m so sorry you didn’t like it El! Is it the texture or the flavor? I know that this has more of a fudge texture than a Butterfinger one. Every time I’ve made it everyone has loved it! 🙁
It’s the flavor. It tastes like plastic peanut butter. That gross chemical plastic taste from the candy corn is very apparent in it, and the only flavor I get is peanut butter. I love peanut butter but without an essence of plastic lingering through it.
Make sure you check the ingredients list on the back of the white chocolate chips. Not all (most) companies use actual coco beans in their white chocolate. Ghiradelli’s included!
I made this recipe last night. It’s amazing! It came out great! It’s a huge hit at my office and my husband’s.
I love your site and enjoy your sence of humor. not too many people make this exciting and fun as you have! Remember you can eat like this when you are young but Watch Out, it will catch you in the fat trap in the END! Making the Oatmeal Wh-Chocolate Puddin Cookies NOW and they smell amazing. My hubby’s favorite cookie is Puddin cookies I have made since we were married (28 yrs.), so with your recipe I am using just the same as for mine, instant vanilla pudding. We are Crazy for oatmeal in this house(buy it in bulk 2- 10# bags) and rairly use quick oats only Old Fashion, so we will see how they turn out. Also, I use Organic Coconut for the butter, yummmm, my front door is locked but you can still smell the Vanilla as it doesn’t bake out or freeze out! (vanilla is the same as my Gma used) Thanks again for the recipe, i will let you know what the scales tell me in a few days, LOL 😀
Oh, I know! The fat trap is already here. That’s why I workout 1+ hours at least 6 days a week!
I love butterfingers! Totally trying this!
I have a dear friend who is CRAZY for candy corn.
I must make this for her
This is SOOO GOOD! I am so happy i found This! The fudge was to die For when I got finished and I have made it many times seince then Truns out Great!
Thank You!
Yay! I’m so glad you liked it!
This looks delicious! And, confession, you were not the only one to suck off all the chocolate before eating the peanutty goodness.
LOL, glad it wasn’t just me!

Thanks for the info!
Really? who cares! lol
I made this for my husband to take to work during corporate inventory…I got Facebooked, texts, all around hurrahs for the fudge. Apparantly they were giving it to their customers too! It was so good!
Next time I will try and chop up the candy corn so it melts faster…it does seem like it will never come together, but when it does…whew!!
Thank you!!!
Yay! I’m so glad they liked it. 🙂 And so totally yes on cutting up the candy corn. It takes FOREVER!
My patience wore thin so I grabbed my potato masher and hurried the process along.
That’s a great tip Jamie. I know it takes FOREVER. But the end result is so worth it!
You bet it was! The fudge received rave reviews.
I made this recipe and took it to work. I also made a batch to take to my kids’ school. Every single person that tries this says, “Oh. Peanut Butter Fudge.” And I have to agree. Other than the name, I would never have guessed these have anything to do with Butterfingers. I followed the recipe and simply taste a sweet, peanut butter flavor. Not bad, but definitely not Butterfingers. 🙁
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it Elisabeth! I totally got a Butterfinger flavor from it, so strange! What brand of candy corn were you using? I wonder if it different brands make it taste different?
