Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 1 stick butter (softened)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 can Eagle-brand milk (sweetened condensed milk)
- 2 cups white chocolate (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 teaspoons honey
Blueberry and Color
- 1 cup blueberries (rinsed and dried, extra for topping)
- 1 teaspoon blue food coloring gel
- 1 teaspoon purple food coloring gel
Toppings
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Fudge Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar until creamy. Add the flour and salt, mixing thoroughly to create your base batter. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, melted white chocolate, vanilla, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Blueberries and Color: Gently fold in the rinsed and dried blueberries along with the blue and purple food coloring gels to give the fudge its distinctive blueberry muffin-inspired appearance. Make sure the colors are evenly distributed for a visually appealing finish.
- Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the oatmeal with brown sugar to create a crumbly topping mixture that adds texture and sweetness.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the fudge mixture into a greased baking pan. Sprinkle the oatmeal and brown sugar topping evenly over the fudge, adding extra blueberries on top if desired for garnish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 10 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the fudge is set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the fudge from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan to firm up. Once cool, cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- Ensure blueberries are fully dried before adding to avoid excess moisture which can affect texture.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips for melted white chocolate if preferred—just melt them gently before mixing.
- If you want a more intense blueberry flavor, consider folding in a tablespoon of blueberry jam into the fudge mixture.
- For a nutty crunch, add chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts to the topping mixture.
- Store the fudge in a cool place or refrigerate to maintain its texture and freshness.
