Ingredients Needed:

This is a quick overview of the ingredients you’ll need for this Cake Batter Fudge Recipe. Specific measurements and full recipe instructions are in the printable recipe card below.

• White Chocolate Chips – use a high quality white chocolate, personally I like to use Ghiradelli chips, because other brands will be more greasy, or won’t set up as well. 
• Sweetened Condensed Milk – this makes the fudge extra sweet and creamy.
• Cake Mix – Use any brand of cake mix, just the dry mix. Use a white cake mix, funfetti cake mix, or yellow cake mix.
• Colorful Sprinkles – to make it extra fun and colorful. Try holiday sprinkles for different holidays to make the fudge festive.

How to make Cake Batter Fudge?

1. Add the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir it as much as you can. Repeat in additional 20 second increments until you can stir the chocolate totally smooth.
2. Add in the cake mix and sprinkles and stir it well until the cake mix is completely stirred smoothly into the chocolate mixture. 
3. Pour mixture into a parchment paper lined square baking pan, and gently smooth the top of the fudge. Top with extra sprinkles if desired. 
4. Let the fudge cool at room temperature until it is set. Place it in the fridge to firm up quicker. Then slice it up and enjoy.

Tips and Tricks:

• If you’re concerned about using raw cake batter mix, I recommend cooking the cake mix in the oven at 350 F for several minutes, until the mix reaches an internal temperature of 165F. 
• Nonpareils (the little balls) will give you more of a crunch as you bite into the fudge. And jimmies will be softer and less obvious as you bite into the fudge. You can choose whichever you prefer, or do a mix of them both.
• You can use chopped white chocolate bars, white chocolate baking melts, or white chocolate chips in this fudge. Just make sure it’s a high quality chocolate, so if you’re using chips go for Ghiradelli or Guittard.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is fudge better with condensed milk or evaporated milk?

You need to use condensed milk for this fudge recipe as it is creamy and thick, and gives this fudge the right texture. Evaporated milk cannot be used as a substitute for this style of fudge. 

Some other styles of fudge do use evaporated milk, and marshmallow fluff, etc, but those are cooked longer on the stove. Do not substitute evaporated milk in this recipe. 

How to make Cake Batter Fudge on the stove?

You can also make this birthday cake fudge recipe on the stove top. Add the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate to a medium sauce pan and cook it over low heat, stirring it regularly as it cooks until the chocolate is melted.

Remove the pan from the stove top and stir in the cake batter and sprinkles. Pour the mixture into the baking pan and smooth the top out evenly with a rubber spatula, then let it chill before slicing.

How to store Fudge?

This fudge will last for 2 to 3 weeks if kept in an air-tight container in the fridge. I usually keep it in a ziplock bag, and enjoy it chilled straight from the fridge.

Can Cake Batter Fudge be Frozen?

You can freeze this funfetti fudge in one big slab or in individual pieces. Wrap the fudge tightly in plastic wrap, then place it inside a freezer safe zip top bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.

When want to enjoy the fudge, thaw the pieces in the fridge until soft enough to enjoy.
