Fudge Ingredients
- 2 cups red velvet cake mix
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Butter: Melt the butter completely, either on the stovetop or in a microwave-safe container. Set it aside to use immediately.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, powdered sugar, melted butter, and milk. Stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform, forming the fudge base.
- Prepare the Pan: Line a suitable baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some excess parchment hangs over the edges to allow easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Spread the Fudge Mixture: Pour the fudge mixture into the parchment-lined pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a smooth and level layer.
- Chill the Fudge: Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the fudge chill for 2 to 4 hours, or until it is firm to the touch.
- Slice and Serve: Once the fudge is fully set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Slice into even pieces and serve immediately or store as desired.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is fully melted to avoid lumps in the fudge mixture.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting of the fudge.
- Refrigerate the fudge long enough for it to set properly for clean, firm slices.
- You can customize by adding white chocolate chips or cream cheese for extra richness if desired.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
