This Easter Fudge is loaded with malted milk balls and so fun for Easter! It comes together easily with no cooking required....the perfect Easter (or anytime) treat!

I have always been in awe of people who make awesome fudge….or toffee, or caramel, or really any type of sweet confections involving a candy thermometer…..because, for me, those things have never turned out well. Case in point: cookie making day this past December at my friend Meaghan’s house. The recipe? English toffee. The process? Grueling. The result? Rock hard sugar and a ruined pan……or so I hear…! By the time we got to the point of cutting and dividing, I had already left. Meaning my friends were left to deal with the mess. And to decide the most important question of all: whether or not to tell me about it!

They decided not to. I have awesome friends like that….friends that try to protect me from my own inadequacies and make me think I’m more competent than I really am! Until one of them slipped…and spilled the beans about the toffee debacle and the unsalvageable Pyrex…and the pact never to tell.

Easter Fudge – A no-bake treat

Which is why I knew that, if I wanted to make awesome Easter fudge, there could be no candy thermometer involved. Period. So I ran across this little beauty of an awesome fudge recipe, given to me by Jorden’s aunt. The original recipe called for cocoa powder and walnuts….which I substituted with malt powder and malted milk balls. A few other minor changes, and I have myself one awesome pan of fudge…..awesome enough that it just might redeem me from the toffee incident of 2012…..(maybe?)

    My husband loves malt flavor, so I’m sure he’d appreciate this fudge. No bake is a plus for me since I’m not a baker! I can’t wait to check out the Easter nests too…anything with coconut is a hit in my book!

    Thank you for this recipe! Took the Malted Milk Fudge to our extended family Xmas gathering — where everybody brings several treats — and it was a huge hit. Instead of 10 ounces of mm balls, I used a 12-oz carton of Whoppers and crushed 9-10 ounces of them to a powder in my food processor. I also used a 7×11 pan to have them come out more cube-like. Thanks again!
