Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons butter or coconut oil for dairy-free
  • 10 cups marshmallows use vegan marshmallows if needed
  • 2 cups white chocolate chopped or in chips
  • 2 cups candy corn for crunch and sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for added aroma

Equipment

  • 9-inch square pan
  • Silicone spatula
  • Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Line your 9-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Combine butter and marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and shiny. The mixture should be bubbling and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the white chocolate and stir vigorously until the mixture becomes glossy and fully melted, creating a smooth, thick paste.
  4. Fold in the vanilla extract for a fragrant touch, then quickly add the candy corn, stirring gently to distribute evenly without breaking the candies.
  5. Pour the thick mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula and smoothing the surface.
  6. Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until it is firm and set. The surface should be matte and slightly firm to the touch.
  7. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into squares or rectangles.
  8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy the chewy, creamy texture with bursts of crunchy candy corn in every bite!

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use vegan marshmallows. To enhance flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of bourbon vanilla extract.
