Equipment

9x9 baking dish
rimmed baking sheet
Large bowl microwave safe
Parchment Paper

Ingredients

14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
2 ½ cups white chocolate chips
½ cup yellow cake mix
¾ cup diced dried pineapple
½ cup stemless maraschino cherries halved and well drained

Instructions

Prepare a 9x9 baking dish with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the cake mix to a thin layer and toast for 5 minutes to kill off the bacteria. Set it aside and allow it to cool while you make the fudge.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips.
Microwave the chocolate for 1 minute and then stir vigorously allowing the morsels to continue melting from the residual heat.
If needed, return the bowl to the microwave for 15 seconds at a time, stirring well between each heating. Do not overheat.
To the melted chocolate, add the cake mix and stir well to blend.
Fold the pineapple into the fudge batter.
Transfer the fudge to the prepared dish and smooth evenly.
Press the cherries into the fudge.
Refrigerate the fudge overnight prior to slicing into pieces and serving.

Notes

Lining your baking pan with parchment paper works best to prevent sticking. However, you could use nonstick cooking spray if you are out of parchment paper.

Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it into squares to prevent it from falling apart.

Experiment with different toppings and flavors to make the recipe your own.

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
