Impress your Valentine with this 2 Ingredient Valentine’s Day Fudge. The recipe is so easy — and looks like you bought it at the store.

We have a potluck at our clubhouse twice a month where everyone brings and shares food and treats. And, adorable treats, like this 2 Ingredient Valentine’s Day Fudge recipe are always the biggest hit of the potluck.

Just, a quick note about the name of this fudge. It’s not a misnomer, I promise.

This fudge is really famously known online as “the 2 Ingredient Fudge recipe” because you really only need chocolate and sweetened condensed milk to make it.

This Valentine’s Day fudge recipe has five ingredients total.

But — two make up the fudge. The other three are just decorations. So this is a variant of 2 Ingredient Fudge, hence the name.

So, if you want to make this exact version, you need additional ingredients for the embellishments.

This homemade fudge recipe for Valentine’s Day is just one of our recipes for Valentine’s Day.

2 Ingredient Valentine’s Day Fudge Ingredients:

• 3 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• Red food coloring
• Red gel icing
• Heart-shaped sprinkles

How To Make 2 Ingredient Valentine’s Day Fudge:

Pour half (1.5 cups) of the white chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl.

Add half of the sweetened condensed milk.

Melt in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between. Continue until the chocolate chips are melted.

This should only take one to two 30 second intervals in the microwave, depending on your microwave’s heat. Be sure to not over-melt and burn the chocolate chips.

Add five (or so) drops of red food coloring. Stir until combined.

This will give you a bright bubble gum pink color. If you want a deeper red, add more food coloring.

Pour the mixture into a foil-lined 8×8 cake pan. Use the back of a spoon or an icing knife to make sure it’s flat and even.

Let it cool in the fridge for 20 minutes until a hardened layer is formed on top.

Pour the rest of the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk into a microwave-safe bowl.

Melt in the microwave at 30 second intervals until the chocolate chips are melted. Stir until combined.

Pour the white mixture on top of the hardened pink mixture. Spread it with the back of a spoon or an icing knife to make an even layer.

Add a few dots of red gel icing on top of the white mixture, making sure to spread them out all over the top.

Use a toothpick to gently swirl the red gel icing into the white.

Make sure to not dig too deep with the toothpick because you don’t want to really go below the surface of the white.

When you have a design you like, sprinkle the heart-shaped sprinkles on top.

Use the opposite side of the toothpick to gently push them into the fudge.

I know, this part feels tedious, but if you don’t do it, the sprinkles will just sit on top of the fudge and won’t get stuck.

Then, when you cut the fudge, the majority of the sprinkles will fall off and get wasted.

Cool in the fridge at least two hours, but preferably overnight.

Take the fudge out of the fridge. Cut it into 16 pieces.

2 Ingredient Valentine’s Day Fudge: Frequently Asked Questions

Can you use dark or milk chocolate chips in fudge?

If you don’t like white chocolate, you can definitely use dark or milk chocolate chips in this recipe instead. You just won’t end up with this pink white chocolate fudge combination.

You’ll also have a few things besides color to keep in mind.

So, white chocolate isn’t actually chocolate because it doesn’t contain chocolate solids. There’s a whole reasoning behind that, which is interesting but not relevant to this recipe. You can actually read about that here.

Since white chocolate isn’t chocolate, you can add food coloring to it. Not just because it will take the color better but also because water-based food colorings end up ruining dark or milk chocolate. You can use coloring oil, but no one I know ever has that.

All that is a long lead up to say if you want to make this with dark or milk chocolate chips, melt three cups with the entire can of sweetened condensed milk. Pour it into a foil-lined 8×8 cake pan.

If you want to add a pink or red swirl on top, melt pink candy melts or red candy melts and add a few dollops of those on top of the fudge. Use a toothpick to swirl the candy melts into the top of the fudge. Then pour the sprinkles on top, pushing them down with the back of the toothpick.

Can you freeze fudge?

If you want to save this fudge in the freezer, wrap it in parchment paper and then foil. Then, put it in a freezer-safe container or zip top bag. It will stay fresh for months that way.

If you do freeze fudge, be sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight before eating.
