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!

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.
Just made a batch today! New family favorite! It is delicious and tastes just like a Butterfinger!
The kids had so much fun helping make it! It’s a bit of a workout on the arms, but it turned out very good!
Glad they had fun!!
Excellent 😋
If you add mashed rice cereal at the end it would have that crunch.
Can I melt it in a crock pot? Or do you think it would take longer in a crock pot to melt?
I haven’t ever tried melting it in a crock pot. I do worry it might burn before it melts completely.
