How to Make Strawberry Fudge

STEP 3: Once the mixture is smooth and well combined, stir in the freeze-dried strawberries. You can crush them up slightly if you prefer a finer texture.
STEP 4: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, and spread it evenly to the edges with a rubber spatula.
STEP 5: Top it off with some sprinkles for added color and fun!
STEP 6: Cover the pan and refrigerate overnight.
STEP 7: The next day, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into bite-sized squares.
