Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dry roasted peanuts divided
- 1/2 cup candy corn
Instructions
- Before beginning, prepare by lining a pan (8x8) with some parchment paper. Coarsely chop 3/4 cup of the peanuts, setting aside the other 1/4 cup of peanuts.
- Heat the sweetened condensed milk, butter, vanilla, and salt, stirring continuously over medium-low heat. Once the condensed milk fudge base has become really hot, but not so hot that it is simmering/boiling, take it off of the stove.
- Add the white chocolate chips to the fudge base, let the chips melt for a minute or two then stir the fudge until all of the chips have melted and are mixed into the sweetened condensed milk base.
- Mix in the ¾ cup of chopped peanuts.
- Place the fudge into the prepared 8x8 pan. Push the fudge around with a spatula to make the top level.
- Sprinkle the candy corn and remaining peanuts onto the top of the fudge, press the toppings into the top of the fudge just a little to make sure they stick.
- Set the fudge aside to cool at room temperature.
- When you are ready to plate the fudge, use a sharp long knife to cut the fudge into pieces.
- Store the fudge in a sealed container at room temperature.

Notes
- Storage: Be sure to keep your fudge in an airtight container so it doesn't dry out, especially around the edges where it has been cut. I actually wrap mine in plastic wrap pressed right against the fudge, then keep it inside another container.Candy corn fudge will be good for about 1 week.
