Print Recipe

A creamy, melt-in-your-mouth fudge featuring nostalgic pastel conversation hearts, perfect for Valentine’s Day and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips (recommended Ghirardelli or Nestlé Toll House)
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (full-fat)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup conversation hearts candies, halved or quartered
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: sprinkles for topping
  • Optional: a few drops of food coloring

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy fudge removal. Set aside.
  2. Halve or quarter about 1 cup of conversation hearts using a sharp knife. Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 14 oz sweetened condensed milk and 2 tbsp softened unsalted butter. Stir gently until butter is melted and mixture is warm but not boiling (3-5 minutes).
  4. Place 12 oz white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Pour the warm condensed milk mixture over the chips and let sit for 1 minute. Stir slowly until chocolate is melted and smooth. Microwave in 15-second bursts if needed, stirring in between.
  5. Stir in 1 tsp pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  6. Gently fold in the halved conversation hearts, saving a few pieces for topping.
  7. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle reserved conversation hearts and optional sprinkles on top.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  9. Use parchment overhang to lift fudge from pan. Cut into 1-inch squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Use low heat to avoid burning chocolate. Fold conversation hearts gently to keep their shape and color. If fudge is too soft after chilling, freeze for 10-15 minutes before cutting. Warm knife under hot water for clean cuts. Dairy-free version: swap butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
