Easy Microwave Strawberry Fudge

Classic chocolate fudge requires patience and a candy thermometer, but this strawberry shortcut version is made with just melted white chocolate and a can of strawberry frosting. If you’re worried about it being too sweet, rest assured that the frosting has enough tang to keep things balanced.

After you stir the frosting into the melted white chocolate, you’ll spread the mixture into a parchment-lined baking pan to set in the fridge. Before it sets, top it with sprinkles and your favorite Valentine’s candy to make it even more festive.

Instructions

  1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with a parchment paper sling so that excess parchment hangs off 2 sides.
