Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 stick of butter – softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Chocolate and Condensed Milk Mixture

  • 2 cups white chocolate almond bark
  • 1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1 can pineapple tidbits (drained)
  • 1/2 package Jello banana flavored pudding mix
  • 14 maraschino cherries
  • Hot fudge sauce – to drizzle on top
  • Colored sprinkles – for the top


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Spray a 9-inch square pan with cooking spray, then line the bottom with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the fudge.
  2. Cream Butter, Sugar, and Vanilla: In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, beat the softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Heat the Flour: Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for about 1 1/2 minutes until it becomes hot to help with the texture of the fudge.
  4. Add Flour and Salt: Add the hot flour and salt to the mixing bowl and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate almond bark in the microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely melted and smooth.
  6. Combine with Condensed Milk: Stir the Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk into the melted white chocolate until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  7. Blend Chocolate Mixture: Pour the white chocolate and condensed milk mixture into the mixer bowl and mix on low speed until everything is well blended.
  8. Add Banana Pudding Mix: Sprinkle in the banana flavored pudding mix and fold it into the fudge mixture until evenly distributed.
  9. Mix in Pineapple and Cherries: Add the drained pineapple tidbits and most of the maraschino cherries into the bowl, mixing gently to combine without breaking up the fruit.
  10. Press Fudge into Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly, pressing it down firmly with a spatula or back of a large spoon.
  11. Add Toppings: Drizzle hot fudge sauce over the top and sprinkle the colored sprinkles evenly across the surface for a festive touch.
  12. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or longer until it is firm and set.
  13. Cut and Serve: Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper, cut it into 1 to 2 inch squares, top each piece with a maraschino cherry, and serve on a platter. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to fully drain the pineapple tidbits to prevent excess moisture in the fudge.
  • Use parchment paper lining for easy removal and clean edges when cutting.
  • If you don’t have white chocolate almond bark, substitute with regular white chocolate but adjust melting time carefully to avoid burning.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • The fudge can be customized with other fruit add-ins or different pudding flavors for variety.
