White Chocolate Fudge – A quick and festive treat loaded with creamy white chocolate and colorful M&M’s. This easy fudge recipe comes together in minutes and sets into smooth, sweet squares that are perfect for gifting, parties, or satisfying a holiday candy craving.
White Chocolate Fudge is one of those treats that feels like it belongs in every holiday lineup! I added M&M’s to make them colorful, rich, and ridiculously easy to make.
This version takes the classic creamy fudge and packs it with M&M’s for a sweet pop of color and crunch in every bite. It’s the same white chocolate + M&M combo that makes Christmas Bark and Double Chocolate M&M Cookies so addictive, just in smooth, melt-on-your-tongue form.
Perfect for gifting, snacking, or sneaking straight from the fridge when no one’s looking.

- Evaporated Milk
- Butter
- Granulated Sugar
- Marshmallow Fluff
- White Chocolate Chips
- Vanilla Extract
- M&M’s – these are optional. You can leave them off and have plain white chocolate fudge, or swap them for nuts
How To Make White Chocolate Fudge
- Prep the pan — Butter or grease a square baking dish so the fudge releases easily once set.
- Boil the base — Combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk in a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil, cooking until it reaches the soft-ball stage.
- Mix in the chocolate — Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate chips and marshmallow fluff until smooth and glossy.
- Add flavor and candy — Mix in vanilla extract and fold in most of the M&M’s, saving a handful for the top.
- Pour and set — Spread the fudge into the prepared pan, press the remaining M&M’s on top, and let it cool until firm.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Use a candy thermometer. Make sure the sugar mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (about 234°F) for the perfect fudge texture.
- Don’t rush the boil. Boiling for a full three minutes gives the fudge structure—cutting it short can make it too soft.
- Work quickly after removing from heat. The mixture thickens fast, so have your white chocolate and marshmallow fluff ready to stir in immediately.
- Try different mix-ins. Add crushed pretzels, nuts, or sprinkles for a little crunch and extra flavor.
- Chill to set faster. Pop the pan in the fridge if you’re short on time—just let it come to room temp before cutting for cleaner squares.
Use a candy thermometer—when the mixture reaches 234°F (the soft-ball stage), it’s ready. Without a thermometer, drop a small amount into cold water; it should form a soft, pliable ball.
Yes! This fudge stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for two weeks.
Grainy fudge happens if the sugar crystals form too early. Stir constantly during boiling and avoid scraping the sides of the pan once it starts to set.

I love it, eye catching, and very festive.
What size jar of marshmallow fluff is it?
I think it is 7oz. I have only ever seen once size, but if you can find multiple sizes, it is the 7oz jar!
What a fun and festive treat! I love how fast it comes together too!
I think that white chocolate is so nice to make fudge with, especially during the holidays! Perfect with the red and green M&M’s. I bet the firefighters were very happy to get all the treats!

I feel so inspired by your video! I bet the firefighters were thrilled to see you arrive with baked goods!!
I made this and followed the recipe. I must have done something wrong bc the fudge fell apart in a lot of places. I let it sit overnight before I attempted to cut it. Not sure what I did wrong. It still tastes pretty good tho.
If it is crumbly and falling a part, that means it was cooked too long. Fudge can be a little temperamental that way.
