This is a really simple recipe to make; if you follow my easy instructions, you’ll be making perfect strawberry fudge!

Melt the Candy Melts

Start by placing your strawberry-flavored candy melts in a bowl. Microwave them for 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to give them a good stir. This helps them melt evenly and keeps them from overheating. Once they’re smooth, set them aside.

Heat the Strawberry Frosting

Now, remove the lid and foil from the strawberry frosting and microwave it for 1 minute. You want it warm and pourable.

Combine the Mixture

Pour the warm frosting into the bowl of melted candy and stir until smooth and fully combined.

Set the Fudge

Using a parchment-lined 8 x 8 pan, pour in the fudge mixture. Spread it evenly, and give the pan a gentle tap on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Place it in the fridge for about 4 hours or until it’s firm.

Slice and Serve

Once the fudge is set, cut it into 1-inch squares. Now, all that’s left is to enjoy your homemade Strawberry Fudge!

Recipe Notes and Expert Tips

Here are some of my top tips for making the perfect strawberry fudge for your tastes.

Smooth Melts: Be sure to stir the candy melts every 30 seconds while microwaving. This prevents them from overheating or clumping together, which can happen easily if they’re left too long without stirring. If you notice any small lumps, keep stirring until they dissolve completely for a smooth consistency.
Foil-Free: Make sure you remove every tiny piece of foil from the frosting can before microwaving—safety first!
Even Layer: When you pour the fudge mixture into the pan, use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface. Tapping the pan on the counter a few times will help level out the mixture and release any trapped air bubbles, ensuring the fudge sets smoothly.
Chill Time is Key: Allow at least 4 hours for the fudge to fully set in the fridge. Rushing this step will leave you with fudge that’s still soft and not fully formed. For best results, you can even let it sit overnight.
Warm Knife for Clean Slices: To get nice, clean cuts, warm your knife by running it under hot water and drying it off before slicing. This helps the knife glide through the fudge easily, leaving neat, professional-looking squares without jagged edges.
Flavor Add-Ons: For an extra twist, try mixing in or sprinkling crushed freeze-dried strawberries or white chocolate chips on top before the fudge sets. It adds a burst of texture and flavor that complements the strawberry.

How to Store Leftover Strawberry Fudge

To keep your Strawberry Fudge fresh and delicious, store it in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay good for up to a week, maintaining its creamy texture. Make sure the container is sealed tightly to prevent the fudge from drying out or absorbing any unwanted odors from the fridge.
