Ingredients:

• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 (16 ounce) container vanilla frosting
• 1 cup Butterfinger baking bits, divided
• 1 cup mini Reese’s Pieces, divided

Directions:

1. Prepare the Pan:

Line an 8×8-inch pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.

2. Melt Chocolate and Butter:

Place the white chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is melted and smooth.

3. Heat the Frosting:

Remove the metal liner from the vanilla frosting container. Microwave the frosting for 30 seconds, then stir.

4. Combine Ingredients:

Pour the warmed frosting into the melted white chocolate and butter mixture. Stir until fully combined and smooth.

5. Cool Slightly:

Allow the mixture to cool for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from setting too quickly.

6. Add Candy:

Stir in 3/4 cup of Butterfinger baking bits and 3/4 cup of mini Reese’s Pieces, mixing until evenly distributed.

7. Pour and Top:

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Butterfinger bits and Reese’s Pieces on top, pressing them in gently.

8. Cool Completely:

Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until set.

9. Cut and Store:

Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the pan using the overhang. Cut into 36 pieces. Store the fudge in a sealed container for up to a week.
