- Strawberry frosting: I recommend using a 16 oz container of your favorite brand. You can also make your own homemade strawberry frosting if you prefer.
- White chocolate chips: Use good quality white chocolate chips for best results. They should melt easily and have a smooth texture.

- Sprinkles: Optional but highly recommended for some extra fun and color.

How to Make Strawberry Fudge
This section shows you how to make the recipe with step-by-step photos and instructions. For the full printable recipe, see the recipe card below.
STEP 1: Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
STEP 2: Melt the frosting and white chocolate in a double boiler over low heat. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water.
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.
Serving Suggestions
This delicious Valentine’s Strawberry Fudge is perfect for enjoying on its own as a sweet treat, but here are some other ideas to serve it with:

Tips and Tricks
