How to Make Delicious Strawberry Fudge

For the Strawberry Fudge Layer

Line a 9×5 baking dish with parchment paper to help it easily turn loose from the sides of the pan.

Step One: Mix Together Strawberry Fudge Ingredients

• Using a medium bowl, whisk the cake mix and sweetened condensed milk together until combined

Step Two: Add Melted Chocolate

• Combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips into a medium pot (or you can use a double boiler) over medium heat
• Mix the fudge using a rubber spatula until smooth

Step Three: Add Fudge to Baking Dish

• Pour the strawberry fudge into the baking dish and spread it out evenly.

For the White Chocolate Layer

Step One: Melt White Chocolate Fudge Ingredients

• Using the same medium sauce pan, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract and place over medium heat
• Using the rubber spatula, stir the chocolate mixture until smooth.

Step Two Add to the Strawberry Layer

• Pour the fudge mixture over the strawberry fudge and smooth evenly.

Step Three: Decorate and Allow to Firm Up

• Add any color festive sprinkles you’d like to the top of the fudge.
• Allow the fudge to firm up overnight before cutting into small squares 

Variations and Add-in’s

• Strawberry flavor: The cake mix gives the fudge great flavor. But if you want a more intense flavor, you can add a little strawberry extract or freeze-dried strawberries to the melted chocolate chips before layering in the baking dish.

• Strawberry swirl: For this recipe, we went with the layered look. You can also give it a fun swirl pattern. To do so, you will need to pour the first layer and let it set up for just a few minutes. Then add the second layer. With a wooden skewer, gently drag the tip though the layers of fudge.

• Cake mix: Change up the cake mix based on the occasion. Instead of using strawberry cake mix, you can use funfetti cake mix. Lemon cake mix is awesome for summery fudge. Using a white cake mix with a little food coloring makes this a great recipe for any day of the year.

• Nuts: If you want to add a little crunch to your fudge, finely chopped macadamia nut or walnuts are great choice. In order to get clean slices, you’ll want to finely chop the nuts you add.

How Do I Store this Homemade Strawberry Fudge?

It can sit out at room temperature in an airtight container as long as it’s a cool dry place for up to week or longer. If you like it eat it chilled, you can also store it in the fridge for a couple of weeks.

If you have leftovers or if you want to make it in advance, you can freeze it for up to about 3 months. Just match sure it is wrapped really well with plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. To thaw, just unwrap and set it out on the countertop for about an hour.

Can I Use Fresh Strawberries?

Real strawberries contain a lot of moisture and will cause the fudge from setting up like it should. Freeze-dried strawberries are a great addition if you’re wanting to add more strawberry flavor.
