What You’ll Need
- 1 container of chocolate frosting
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)

- 9 Strawberry Peeps Chicks (or any flavor you like!)
- Valentine’s Day sprinkles (heart-shaped or sprinkle mix)
- Optional: Pink premade frosting for swirl
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.
Serving
Once set, cut into squares along the scored lines, and you’ll have the cutest, sweetest Valentine's Day Peeps Fudge ready to enjoy or give as gifts! This dessert is festive, fun, and delicious—all in one bite.
