At the same time, not enough melted chocolate added means that the fudge won't set, so it's important to measure accurately for this recipe!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It's normal for the melted chocolate to seize slightly when the buttercream is added. Continue to stir the mixture as it just needs to be pourable. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never add the strawberry extract straight to the melted chocolate as it will cause the mixture to seize. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcd6 RECIPE VARIATIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The great thing about most fudge recipes is how easy they are to vary with some simple ingredient alternatives and swaps. Here are a few suggestions for adapting this Valentine's fudge recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CHOCOLATE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>White chocolate chips can be used instead of strawberry flavored or colored candy melts. Simply add an oil-based food dye to the mixture for coloring and more strawberry extract to the heated buttercream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FLAVOR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don't like strawberry extract, use vanilla extract or rose extract instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DECORATION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sprinkle pink and red sanding sugar over the top of the fudge instead of sprinkles. Sprinkles can be left off completely if you want a plain pink and red marble presentation for your strawberry fudge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\udd57 WHAT TO SERVE WITH VALENTINE'S FUDGE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This sweet and creamy strawberry fudge can be enjoyed as a standalone treat or added to other dessert foods for greater indulgence &#8211; perfect for those special occasions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Valentine's Dessert Board<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Indulge and treat yourself and your loved one to a platter of Valentine's-inspired treats, including this pink fudge recipe as the newest addition! Consider including a spread of fresh strawberries, Valentine's Whoopie Pies, and these adorable <a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/red-velvet-cake-mix-balls\/\">Red Velvet Cake Mix Balls<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy this Valentine's fudge with a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt, either as whole slices or crumbled over the ice cream and frozen yogurt as a deliciously sweet strawberry topping!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hot Beverages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A slice of this strawberry Valentine's fudge will go down well with a mug of hot chocolate or coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\ude4b FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1701538362238\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">WHY DID MY FUDGE NOT SET?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The melted chocolate in this Valentine's fudge recipe helps to set the fudge so that it doesn't fall apart. If your fudge is not setting, it's likely that not enough melted chocolate was added to the heated buttercream. Make sure to measure the ingredients accurately!<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1701538532269\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">CAN I USE HOMEMADE BUTTERCREAM INSTEAD?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I've used a container of store-bought buttercream for this pink fudge, but you can definitely use homemade buttercream instead. Since it's a deviation from this recipe, I recommend making a test batch first. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1701538564049\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">WHAT PAN IS BEST FOR MAKING STRAWBERRY FUDGE?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I've used an 8&#215;8-inch baking pan which is great for smaller batches of fudge. I also enjoy the thickness of the fudge with this size of pan. You can use a larger pan but then the slices will be thinner. Glass, ceramic, non-stick metal, and aluminum pans all work well for assembling and setting fudge. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"2133\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/valentines-fudge-4-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"red and pink valentines day fudge stacked on top of each other\" class=\"wp-image-83346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/valentines-fudge-4-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/valentines-fudge-4-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/valentines-fudge-4-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/valentines-fudge-4-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/valentines-fudge-4-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/valentines-fudge-4-150x267.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/valentines-fudge-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddca STORING AND \u2668\ufe0f REHEATING<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FRIDGE <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Store this strawberry fudge in an airtight container lined with parchment paper in the fridge for up to 1 month. While some fudge recipes allow for storage at room temperature, I like to err on the side of caution when using ingredients such as buttercream in the fudge mixture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FREEZER <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This pink fudge can be stored for up to 6 months in the freezer. Wrap individual slices of the fudge to preserve the flavor and texture the best and then transfer it to an airtight container or sealable bag. The frozen slices can be thawed in the fridge before serving again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf73 MORE VALENTINE'S TREATS <\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id83342_55372a-49

You\u2019ll need to reduce the chocolate the next time around. It will still taste good, it just won\u2019t be very soft or pretty. <br \/>\u25cfIf your fudge won\u2019t set up well, it means not enough chocolate was used. You either need to increase the chocolate used or decrease the amount of frosting the next time around.<br \/>\u25cfThe chocolate will slightly seize when the frosting is added to it. This is normal, no need to worry. You just need the mixture to be pourable. Just keep stirring and you\u2019ll be good to go.<br \/>\u25cfDo not add the extract directly to the chocolate or it will ruin it. The extract seizes the chocolate to a point that it\u2019s not usable. <br \/>\u25cfIf you can\u2019t find strawberry candy melts, no problem. The extract still adds plenty of flavor. You can just use normal pink candy melts instead.<br \/>\u25cfIf you don\u2019t have access to candy melts, you can use white chocolate chips and color the chocolate with oil based food dye.
