For Valentine’s Day this year, I’m keeping things simple with this 3-ingredient strawberry fudge. It has delicious strawberry flavor, a gorgeous pink color, and is so soft and creamy! Made with cake mix, white chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk, it doesn’t get much easier than this pantry staple fudge recipe. I can’t wait to pass it out to all my friends!
I can’t believe how easy this strawberry fudge is to make. It’s such a great Valentine’s Day dessert with its pretty pink color and tasty strawberry flavor. Using strawberry cake mix is a genius way to infuse flavor and color into this yummy white chocolate fudge. I added festive sprinkles on top to really make it shine!
What’s in This Strawberry Fudge Recipe?
- Strawberry Cake Mix: Adds delicious strawberry flavor and a delightful pink color to this fudge.
- White Chocolate Chips: Forms the creamy base of the fudge.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Makes the fudge soft and sweet!
Tips for Success
- Be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment. If you don’t, the fudge can get stuck to the tin. Let the parchment overlap the tin so that you can remove it easily.
- Melt the chocolate slowly in the microwave, stirring between intervals, so that it doesn’t burn. You can also melt it in a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Because of its long shelf life, this strawberry fudge makes for a great Valentine’s gift to share with friends and family. Its bright pink color is so festive, it’s sure to brighten up someone’s day!
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover strawberry fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks. You can also freeze the fudge tightly wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
