Ingredients Needed for Red Velvet Fudge
- Red Velvet cake mix
- Confectioners sugar
- Milk
- Butter – We used salted
- White chocolate chips
- Sprinkles – These are optional. If you would like Valentine’s Day then grab themed ones for that holiday or Christmas etc.
Steps to Prepare
Prep Pan – Line just the bottom of an 9×9 square pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Microwave – In a large, microwave-safe bowl, pour in cake mix, confectioner’s sugar, milk and butter pieces. Resist the urge to stir, no need to. Microwave for two minutes.
Add White Chocolate Chips – Remove from microwave and immediately begin stirring until all of the butter is melted. Fold in white chocolate chips while the mixture is still warm so you get the marble effect when they melt slightly.
Layer in Pan – Spoon fudge mixture into prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. If using sprinkles, add them quickly and press down slightly so they adhere to the fudge.
Cool – Cover with plastic wrap and let it set in the fridge for at least 2 hours before cutting it up.
Pro Tips
- Line your baking pan with non-stick foil. You can just lift the fudge out of the pan, which makes cutting the fudge so much easier.
- Fudge should always be stored in an airtight container to seal out an extra moisture and prevent it from drying out. It can be stored at room temperature but I will usually pop it in the fridge so it doesn’t get warm and melt.
- Need to make this ahead of time? This is the perfect treat to make ahead because you can freeze it. Simply warp it in plastic wrap and place in resealable container. It’s best to freeze in a whole block as individual pieces tend to dry out when they are frozen. When ready to enjoy thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. It should be enjoy within a week of thawing.

It tasted like the uncooked cake mix. Had to throw it out.

Should I add the frosting that’s provided in the cake box as well
Julie Evink says
I’ve never had frosting included in a cake box, so I would leave that out.

Barbara says
Are these safe to eat being that the cake mix is not fully cooked?
Kris says
Why wouldn’t it be? There’s no eggs.
Bob says
Because raw flour can cause you to get sick just the same as raw egg.

Thanks for your comment Bob!
