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.

Can I use the pumpkin candy corns?Â
These white chips take forever to melt?
Candy corn
+ peanut butter + condensed milk + white chocolate chips = 3 ingredients? Interesting math, there.
I just made this last night it it taste wonderful! Next time i make it i think i’ll pulse the candy corns in a food processor first so it doesn’t take so long for them to melt. Surprisingly this wasn’t over the top sweet like a lot of fudge is. Great recipe!
I would recommend chopping up the candy corn firstÂ
I saw this recipe this morning and had to get out of bed and make it. My son and I LOVE it!!! Even my boyfriend who doesn’t care for peanut butter loved it! It definitely did take some time to melt. Some of my white chocolate didn’t quite melt but I left just a few small pieces whole and they taste just fine. Thanks for an awesome recipe!
How many ounces is the sweetened condensed milk?
This is so yummy! I had them at a baby shower and decided to add them to my Christmas candy list. I went searching for candy corn and it was nowhere to be found. However I did find some Christmas mellocreme candies and decided to give it a try. The results were a darker fudge and maybe a slight difference in the taste but overall still yummy and butterfingery. Hopefully they last until Christmas!
I was wondering about that. Usually, I stockpile at after-Halloween sales, but I didn’t last year, and I want to take some to the fair tomorrow. (took a red last year. The blue-ribbon fudge–“orange dreamsicle”–also took reserve grand in dairy promo.)
I tried this recipe and then talked to other people who have made it also. Â If you use the candy corn made with honey you will have a hard time getting it to melt. Â That is also why sometimes it gets really hard and does not stay soft. Â The only people to make candy corn with out honey is jelly bellies but than you are paying a lot for the candy corn.
I made this fudge yesterday, And I must say it was killer good. I love it so much!! For added decoration I sprinkled some chopped peanuts on top of the chocolate. Yum! Best fudge ever!!!
