How to Make Valentine’s Day Peeps Fudge

Prep the Pan: Start by lining a square glass baking pan with parchment paper or lightly greasing it. This will make removing the fudge later much easier!

  • Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your white chocolate chips. You can do this in increments of 20-30 seconds, stirring between each, until it's smooth and melted.

  • Mix with Frosting & Butter: Add your chocolate frosting and melted butter to the melted white chocolate and stir until everything is evenly mixed. You should now have a nice, thick, and creamy fudge base!
  • Pour Into Pan: Pour your fudge mixture into the prepared square baking pan and use a spatula to smooth the top. Be sure it’s even, as this will give you perfectly squared pieces when it’s set! Optional: To add swirl, use a premade pink frosting and simply swirl top layer of mixture with a toothpick or fork.
  • Score for Easy Slicing: Once everything is smooth, score the top of your fudge into 9 squares. This makes cutting into pieces a breeze once it’s fully set.
  • Add the Peeps: Before refrigerating, carefully place a whole Strawberry Peeps Chick on top of each fudge square. Gently press down so they stay in place.
  • Sprinkle: Once your Peeps are placed on top, get creative with Valentine’s Day sprinkles! Heart-shaped sprinkles or a fun Valentine’s sprinkle mix will add the finishing touch.
  • Let Set: Place your fudge in the fridge for 1-2 hours, or until it’s completely set and firm.
