Craving something that tastes like your favorite candy bar but doubles as a showstopper dessert? Enter Butter Finger Fudge, the genius Butter Cream Candy Recipe that needs just four ingredients and zero fancy equipment. Yep—you read that right. No candy thermometer. No last-minute panic. Just pure, buttery bliss that’ll have you questioning every boxed fudge mix you’ve ever tried.
Why this fudge rocks:
- Ultra-simple: Only candy corn, creamy peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, and white chocolate chips.
- Candy bar nostalgia: It literally mimics the flaky crunch and peanut-buttery goodness of a Butterfinger.
- Versatile: Dip it, drizzle it, or dress it up however you like—this is the ultimate Poor Mans Dessert Recipe that looks way fancier than its ingredient list.
What You’ll Need
- Fresh candy corn (seriously, old stuff won’t melt properly—trust me).
- Creamy peanut butter—skip the crunchy stuff to keep your truffles ultra-smooth.
- Sweetened condensed milk—this turns our mix into legit Butter Fudge.
- White chocolate chips—they firm up the mixture into the perfect bite.
- (Optional) Milk chocolate for drizzling or dipping—because why not?
With that lineup, you’re making a foolproof Fudge Made With Candy Corn that looks like gourmet candy but feels like comfort food.
Let’s Get to It
- Prep your pan: Line a 9×9″ square dish with foil and hit it with cooking spray. Easy cleanup = happy baker.
- Melt & Stir: In a sturdy saucepan over low heat, combine candy corn and peanut butter. Once it softens, stir in your sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips. Keep stirring until you have a silky-smooth mass—FYI, it takes a while, but good things come to those who whisk.
- Set & Chill: Spread the molten mixture into the prepared pan. Let it hang out on the counter for about 15 minutes, then pop it in the fridge until it firms up completely.
- Cut & Dress: Slice into squares. If you’re feeling extra, melt some milk chocolate, dip the bottoms of each square, or drizzle on top. Return to the parchment-lined sheet to let the coating set.
Voila! You’ve just whipped up a killer batch of Fudge With Candy Corn that newbies and seasoned bakers alike will adore.
Pro Tips for Perfect Results
- Use a saucepan, not a microwave. Candy corn needs gentle, even heat to transform properly.
- Chop the candy corn or blitz it in a food processor to speed up melting—no one has time to babysit a saucepan for 20 minutes.
- Thin out your chocolate drizzle with a teaspoon of oil or shortening for a sleek finish.
- Cover any toothpick holes by tossing on sprinkles or crushed nuts right after dipping.
Twist It Your Way
Want to upgrade this hack? Stir in chopped candy bars or crushed pretzels. Swap the peanut butter for almond butter to lean into an Almond Truffles Recipe vibe. Feeling sweet and salty? Sprinkle on flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets. This recipe also taps into the endless creativity of Viral Desserts 2024—so go ahead, make it your own!
Storage & Lifespan
Store your cut fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks, or freeze for three months. When you’re ready to indulge, just let it thaw at room temp for a few minutes and dive in.

Butterfinger Fudge – Wow Butter Recipes for Viral Desserts 2024
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 36 pieces
Description
Transform candy corn, peanut butter, and sweetened condensed milk into chewy, candy-bar–inspired fudge!
Ingredients
- 3 cups candy corn (fresh, not stale)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (about 268 g)
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (about 340 g)
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips (about 170 g), optional for coating
Instructions
- Prep Your Pan: Line an 8×8″ (or, for slightly thinner squares, a 9×9″) baking dish with aluminum foil and mist lightly with nonstick spray.
- Melt Candy Corn & Peanut Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the candy corn and peanut butter. Stir every 30 seconds until the mixture softens and starts to blend, about 3 minutes.
- Add Condensed Milk: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk. Continue stirring gently—just enough to keep things moving—until the milk warms through and the mixture simmers lightly, another 3 minutes. Avoid a full boil.
- Incorporate White Chocolate: Remove the pan from the heat, add the white chocolate chips, and stir until fully melted into the candy blend. It may look stubborn at first, but keep at it—it will smooth out.
- Set & Chill: Scrape the hot fudge into your prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer. Let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator until firm, about 1–2 hours.
- Optional Chocolate Dip: If you’d like a milk-chocolate shell, melt the milk chocolate chips (stir in a teaspoon of oil if desired to thin). Dip the bottom of each fudge square into the melted chocolate, then lay on wax paper until the coating solidifies.
- Slice & Serve: Once fully set, lift the foil out of the pan, peel it back, and cut the fudge into bite-sized squares.
