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

Why didn’t my fudge set?

It could be a problem with the temperature. Make sure the milk gets hot enough!

How long does fudge last?

Fudge can last a couple weeks in the refrigerator, but can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months!

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.

  1. It’s really good but for a little boost, I chopped up 2 butterfinger bars. Pour half the mix into pan spread then top with half the butterfingers, add remaining mix , sprinkle the rest of the butterfingers on top.

  2. I saw this recipe running around on Insta, then on a cooking show over the weekend. I love butterfingers so figured I’d give it a shot. I also like to tweak things and wanted to add the crunchy texture of the real deal…so I added 2 cups of crushed rice chex cereal to the melted fudge and stirred it in well. This stuff is amazing…thank you!

  3. To make it easier on me I melted the candy corn in a double broiler then add to the peanut butter .I don’t have alot of strength so I used my mixer added the milk then the chips.
    It made it much easier on me .it turned out .I must say I wished it had a little more flavor it was good but I feel it could be better .I guess I need to share some and see what they say
    So I will let u know…thanks for the recipe.

  4. I made it but I soften the candy corn in a double boiler then put it in the pot with the peanut butter then use my mixer to help it smooth out then added mix mixed some more then the chips .
    I must say it takes time and strength to make this candy. To me it lacks flavor it needs more bam to it.

  5. Do you think it work still be very butterfinger-like if I swapped almond butter for the peanut butter (for someone with a peanut allergy)?

    1. I haven’t tried it but it will be similar – they’re not that different of a flavor I don’t think.
