I’ve been on a baking and goodie-making spree lately, which sucks because I can’t eat of the delicious treats that I’ve made because of the changes I have made in my diet! I made this beautiful Valentines Day fudge recipe yesterday.
I couldn’t eat it. Well, I tasted a tiny piece just to make sure that it tasted as great as it looked – it totally did – but the rest went to my mom and Angeline.
Lucky them.
I got the idea for this Valentines Day Fudge recipe idea on Pinterest a few weeks ago, and shared the original strawberry fudge recipe in this Valentine’s Day Dessert post. When I tried it myself, I found that I was missing the white chocolate, and only had white candy melts on hand.
Everyone loves Wilton candy melts, right? I figured how bad could they be in the place of white chocolate chips?
As it turns out, they’re not bad at all. In fact, I want to try this recipe again with cream cheese frosting and red Wilton candy melts, with a drop of Red Velvet flavoring…
Damn this healthy eating!
Easy Valentines Day Fudge Recipe
- 1 canister of strawberry cake frosting
- 1 bag of Wilton white candy melts
- Optional sprinkles
- Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or line with wax paper. I used a nonstick cooking spray and while the edges were difficult to remove without breaking the fudge, it came off of the bottom of my dish very easily.
- Microwave your Wilton candy melts at 30 second intervals for a total of 1.5 to 2 minutes, stirring between intervals.
- Once your Wilton candy melts are completely melted and stirred until smooth, pour it into a bowl with the cake frosting and mix well.
- Pour into your prepared baking dish and top with sprinkles if you are adding sprinkles.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, then cut with a knife and remove carefully with a fork or spatula.
Tip: It is important to add any decorative toppings as soon as you can, as they will not adhere as well if the fudge has already begun to set.
This Valentines Day Fudge Recipe will last up to a week in the fridge as long as it is in an airtight container.
Those look super yummy! I bet the kids would love these. (They aren’t my eating healthy plan either … sob!)
I’m going to have to try this! I have everything on hand and lots of help eating the goodies.
What? Are you even kidding me with this deliciousness?
I would never had believed you could make fudge with just 2 ingredients! Nice! 🙂
Ok now this is something I think my teen can make and now make a huge mess all over my kitchen!!! Thank you! Pinning!
never would have thought these 2 ingredients would make fudge.
Oh my MEGA yum! My mouth is watering! Pinning and saving for later 🙂
I bet this is super sweet!
I think I can handle 2 ingredients! It looks great! 🙂
Looks great and perfect for the holidays.
My god, I am HATING you right now Jenn!! I want to eat the screen so bad, lol. And now that I am a Reynolds Mom finalist I can tell you that you could have definitely used Reynolds Parchment, crimping over the edges then once everything cooled you use the edges of the paper to lift everything out and cut. Much easier without the sides of the pan in the way 😉 (I can totally sell this stuff, huh? lol.)
These look great, love the idea of using a heart cookie cutter to shape them!
Oh my goodness! It looks delicious. Hmmmmmmmmmm. 😛
Easy peasy japaneasy….I think even I can handle making these!!
I will have to make this for the kids for Valentines Day. I love that there are only 2 ingredients!
That looks so yummy! I am not a fudge person but my kids love it.
I have been obsessed with fudge lately and am definatly going to try this!
These look so pretty – and yummy too. I’d prbbly make them to give as a takeaway thing for a dinner event here 🙂

What size pan did you use?
I made two separate batches in 8×8 pans, but you can use a 9×13
I buy candy melts in bulk. What size is a bad of Wilton’s?
I think my daughter would love trying to make this! She’s been on a baking spree too lately and trying new things – and succeeding! 😉
I have a jar of Peppermint Icing from Christmas and I am going to make these for Valentines. Thanks for the pin
I mainly eat junk food but I always treasure the moment.
This looks so yummy and easy. Going to have to give it a try, but I’m with you – just try a little piece and give the rest to others. Pinning!
These look so delicious! I found your wonderful blog on the Weekend ReTreat blog hop. I also wanted to invite you to the Great Blog Train (blog hop) – we are traveling to GREECE this month!

I just printed this recipe. It looks so good! And, it’s beautiful too for a lovely presentation. Thanks so much for sharing.
Fudge does not come out right for me, but how could I mess this up? It is so easy and sounds refreshing with the strawberry. Pinned!
