How to Make Red Velvet Fudge

This fudge is unbelievably easy to make. We’re talking 5 minutes from start to finish!

Start by heating a medium sized saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.

Add sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips. Stir continually until the chocolate is melted.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and red velvet cake mix. Spread into an 8×8 pan that’s lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Add your sprinkles on top and gently tap on them to make sure they stick to the fudge. Cover and place in the refrigerator until it firms up, about an hour.

Slice fudge into desired size and place in an airtight container. Keep at room temperature for the best, creamy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cake mix flavor? Yes! This would be delicious with funfetti, chocolate, lemon, strawberry or cherry cake mixes. Keep all the other ingredients the same and just switch out the cake mix. If you’re using a chocolate cake mix, you could switch out the white chocolate chips for semi-sweet or milk chocolate if you desire.

How long does this homemade fudge last? At room temperature for about 2 weeks. If refrigerated, it will be good for up to a month.
