Delicious Butterfinger Chocolate Fudge Squares Recipe
Butterfinger chocolate fudge squares are a delightful, easy-to-make treat that combines rich chocolate with crunchy Butterfinger pieces.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cupssemi-sweet chocolate chips (preferably Ghirardelli brand for the best flavor)
- 14 ouncessweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cupheavy cream
- 2 cupsroughly chopped Butterfinger candy bar
- 1 cupfinely chopped Butterfinger candy bar for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Start by lining a 9×9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang on the sides for easily lifting your fudge out later. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking, creating a seamless removal and serving process.
- Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. Stir consistently for about 5 to 6 minutes until the chocolate chips have completely melted into a molten mixture, and everything is smooth and well combined. Make sure to remove it from the heat promptly to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Incorporate Butterfingers: Gently fold in the 2 cups of roughly chopped Butterfinger candy pieces into the melted chocolate mixture. The aim is to evenly distribute the candy without breaking it down too much. This will ensure that every bite of fudge is packed with that signature Butterfinger crunch.
- Pour and Set: Pour the luscious fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top evenly. Next, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of finely chopped Butterfinger candy pieces over the surface. Press them lightly into the fudge so they adhere properly. Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 1 to 2 hours to allow the fudge to firm up completely.
- Cut into Squares: Once the fudge has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Lift the fudge out by the overhanging foil and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the fudge into 36 squares measuring approximately 1½ by 1½ inches each. This ensures perfect bite-sized treats that are easy to share!
Notes
Ensure that your chocolate does not scorch by keeping the heat at medium and stirring constantly. Allow the fudge to set completely before cutting to ensure clean, sharp edges. If the fudge doesn’t fully set in the fridge, you can leave it out at room temperature for 30 minutes before cutting. Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness, which can last up to a week.
