Funfetti Cake Batter Fudge
No bake, no box mix, yet replicates the taste of cake batter. This melt in your mouth Funfetti Cake Batter Fudge is delicious and has a wonderful textured crunch from the sprinkles.
Sprinkles make me happy. I love everything about them. The variety of happy colours, fun shapes, their sweet taste, the crunch, everything. They remind me of beautiful rainbows after a dull rainy day. Which is pretty ironic since they’re rainbow colours. Which then leads me onto glitter, but I won’t go there now! 🙂
I’ve been having the urge for a while to make funfetti anything. Funfetti box cake mixes aren’t available in the UK. It’s one of those US things (like Biscoff) that make us Brits jealous and so very desperate to visit the land of the free across that rather large pond.
We don’t get a lot of box mixes here and the ones we do get are terribly easy to make from scratch anyway. I’m not against box mixes, heck I’d use more if only there were decent ones for the right price (recession anyone?) but there’s just that added satisfaction for creating something myself.
Armed with my recipe, I went on a funfetti cake batter fudge mission in the kitchen. The recipe called for white chocolate chips. I had quite a few bars of white chocolate in which I considered using but off I went to the shops in search for white chocolate chips and when I get there I find both plain/dark chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips but no white chocolate chips. Meh! Maybe I could use some Milkybar buttons instead? (if you’re not familiar with Milkybar buttons, they’re the same as candy melts but just white chocolate) but they only came in 70g packages for rather a ridiculous amount and was so not worth buying quite a few of those. I just opted to use my white chocolate bars and got the giant man-baby to chop them up into small chunks for me. Works for me!
Overall, I was surprised with how easy they were to make and they are just delicious. I’m totally digging the crunch of the sprinkles among the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth fudge. It’s like a dirty little secret you just come across!
One word of advice, the fudge starts setting as soon as you remove from the microwave so make sure you have everything to hand and work quite quickly.
Funfetti Cake Batter Fudge Recipe
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 2-3 mins
Yield: 8in fudge
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- rainbow sprinkles (nonpareils)
Directions:
- Pour the condensed milk and white chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the white chocolate chips are almost completely melted. DO NOT OVERHEAT! Stir until completely blended, melted and smooth.
- Immediately add the vanilla and almond extract and combine thoroughly. Add a handful of sprinkles and fold in quickly. They will melt and make the mixture an awful muddy colour if stirred for too long.
- Transfer to an 8×8 inch aluminium foil-lined baking pan. Leave to set either in the refrigerator or at room temperature. If you live in a hot and humid climate, it’s preferable to allow to set in the refrigerator.
- Once set, cut into cubes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Notes:
- If stored in an airtight container, they should keep for 2 weeks.
- Prep time doesn’t include setting time which usually takes around 3 hours.

Totally off topic, but on Sunday, I went to cook my partner something. Popped it in the oven. Twenty oven beeping minutes later I returned with my oven mitts to grab it. Oven was stone cold. WTH? Tried a few things but no banana. The fan and grill are working fine on the oven so I assume the heating element has gone which sucks since my oven is only approx 3-4 yrs old. So until my oven is fixed, it’s no bake. Wahh!
Sparkling glitter and happy sprinkle topped smoochies,

Delicious fudge. Love that funfetti in there.
Hi Lisa! I am blown away by this fudge. I’ve made cake batter fudge before but I used a cake mix. I have been DYING DYING DYING to come up with a recipe not using cake mix, though. This is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing it! I am a cake batter fool. PS: which plug-in do you use for your recipes? I love the format! Let me know. Thank you Lisa 🙂
Awwww that sucks about your oven! But obviously you are making the best of your situation by creating such amazing fudge 😀
Cheers

You’re so creative!! I bet they taste better than a box mix any day! Adding to my list of “must try”
Mm, I’ve made this recipe before and loved it! It’s so so so good. I’m sorry about your oven–that’s definitely a bummer and I know how irritating it is to want to bake but have a stone-cold oven. Rr!
Wow! These look amazing! And you photos are superb!!! Beautiful with the sprinkles!
Oh boy do I love sprinkles and glitter and… Anyway, I love the little pieces of cake batter fudge – looks so moist I almost licked my screen. Hope your oven is hot soon!
Those are exactly the reasons why I love sprinkles! Especially the crunch. Anything with a crunch actually. Reminds me of fall. All the dry leaves. But fall seems to be coming much too soon..
These look amazing, Lisa, and sound fabulous! Time to pin!
I have been making lots of fudge recipes this fall and I am adding this to my collection!
These look truly yummers!!!! I’m loving how easy this fudge is too make. No candy thermometer and perfect looking fudge. Total winner
Just found you via a blog hop. Love all recipes & this looks yummy. We are big funfetti fans, lol I don’t make box mix often, but love a good easy recipe especially for when time is short. Your new follower, as we love to bake in our house!
Left in fridge for 3 hrs, fudge was still liquid. Then in freezer overnight, still not solid fudge yet :/
I emailed you back on the 4th, hope you received my email?
I’ve used the basic 2 ingredient fudge recipe 3 times now with no issues. Without being there, I can’t say for sure what went wrong for you. I do apologise for your issues. I can’t understand why the fudge didn’t freeze overnight in the freezer though, oddness.
I am intrigued, but what happened to the cake mix? It isn’t in the listif ingredients or the directions. Did I miss something?
