  • Parchment paper
  • Medium Microwave-Safe Mixing Bowl
  • Rubber Spatula

Ingredients

  • 16- Ounce Can Strawberry Frosting

Instructions

  • Line your 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place your candy melts in a medium mixing bowl and microwave for 2 minutes, pausing every 30 seconds to stir the melts so they don’t burn or overcook. Once the candy melts are smooth, without lumps, when stirred, then they’re ready.

  • Pour the melted frosting into the bowl with the melted chocolate and stir vigorously until fully combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan on the counter before placing it into the fridge.
  • Chill for up to 4 hours or until set. Cut into 1-inch pieces, serve, and enjoy!
  • If you love sprinkles, of course you can add some for fun! Just sprinkle them over the fudge before refrigerating!

Storage and Reheating Instructions

How to Store 2 Ingredient Strawberry Fudge:

Storing your 2 Ingredient Strawberry Fudge is a breeze. I keep my fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Helpful Tips & Substitutions

Can this be Frozen?

Absolutely! Freezing is a fantastic way to extend the life of your strawberry fudge. Wrap it well in cling film or aluminum foil, then place it in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag. It can stay in your freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy it, just thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, or leave it at room temperature for a few hours.

Can this be made ahead of time?

This strawberry fudge is the perfect make-ahead treat! Since it needs to chill for at least 4 hours, making it a day ahead is actually ideal. It's a great way to manage your time, especially if you're preparing for a gathering or event.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Frosting Alternatives: Can't find strawberry frosting? Use white frosting and add a drop of strawberry extract for flavor.
  • Dairy Addition: For a creamier texture, replace the frosting with sweetened condensed milk, though this may lessen the strawberry intensity. If you choose to use the milk, you’ll need to add about 4-6 ounces more of the strawberry candy melts.
  • Flavor Twists: Feel free to experiment with other candy melt flavors or extracts to create different fudge varieties.

Helpful Cooking Notes

  • If you want an extra strong strawberry flavor, add ½ a teaspoon of strawberry extract to the melted frosting before pouring it into the melted chocolate. Be sure to stir it into the frosting as well.
  • If you’re having trouble finding strawberry frosting, you can use white frosting, but the strawberry flavor may not be as strong.
  • When fresh out of the fridge or freezer, let the fudge warm up a bit or it will be a little hard.
  • Once you cut the fudge, it’s important to not leave it out to the open air long or it will dry up quickly.
  • Depending on the brand of your candy melts, finished colors will vary.
