Ingredients

Ingredients for Harry Potter butterbeer fudge - butterscotch chips, sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, butter, marshmallows, white chocolate chiops.

For the Bottom Layer

  • Butterscotch Chips. Try to use a good quality butterscotch.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk. This gives the fudge the perfect sweetness.
  • Powdered Sugar. I think it’s worth the extra effort to sift the flour.
  • Butter. Use real butter.
  • Marshmallow Creme. Store bought is fine or use Homemade Marshmallow Fluff.

Top Layer

  • White Chocolate Chips. I prefer Ghirardelli white chocolate, but you can use any good quality brand.
  • Vanilla Extract. Pure vanilla extract will give the fudge the best flavor.

How to Make Butterbeer Fudge

  • Step 1 – Prepare the pan. Line an 8X8 square pan or 9X9 inch pan with parchment paper or tin foil. Spray with non-stick spray. Make sure to generously spray all of the parchment paper.
Saucepan with butterscotch mixture.

Step 2. Get out a saucepan or pot and combine the sugar, butter, marshmallow creme and sweetened condensed milk.  Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to slightly boil. Boil for approximately 5 minutes stirring constantly.  Then remove from the heat and stir in the butterscotch chips until melted.

Butterscotch mixture spread into pan.

Step 3. Spread the mixture into the bottom of the baking dish.  I like to place in the freezer while I prepare the top layer. This will ensure that it is set and ready for the top layer. You do not want the layers to blend together.

Step 4. Get out a small saucepan to make the white layer. Combine the butter, sweetened condensed milk, marshmallow creme and powdered sugar over medium high heat.

Step 5. Stir constantly and once the mixture begins to boil, cook for 2-3 more minutes.  Keep stirring so the mixture does not burn.

Pro Tips

  • Stir constantly. While the mixture is heating and boiling, it is important that you stir constantly. It will burn if you do not continuously stir. Start stirring right away and don’t wait until it boils.
  • Set the timer. It is important that the fudge mixture boils for a set amount of time. This will ensure it sets properly.
  • Remove from heat. When making the top layer, remove the pan from heat before adding the white chocolate chips so it does not seize.
  • Allow the bottom layer to set. This layer needs to go in the freezer to set while you make the top layer. This will ensure the layers are defined and don’t blend together.
  • Prepare the pan. Make sure that you line the pan with parchment paper and spray it with non stick cooking spray. It will make it much easier to remove the fudge from the pan. You can lift the entire pan of fudge out of the pan and cut into squares.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2-3 weeks. We recommend placing wax paper in between the layers of fudge to prevent them from sticking.

How to Freeze?

Place the Harry Potter Butterbeer Fudge inside an airtight container. Place layers of wax paper in between the fudge. This makes it easy to grab a couple of squares when you just want a few.

Allow to thaw in the fridge when ready to enjoy. Then let it come to room temperature. It will last up to 3 months in the freezer if you wrap it properly.
