Ingredients

Fudge Base

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup flour (microwaved)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups white chocolate, melted
  • 1 tsp blue food coloring gel
  • 1 tsp purple food coloring gel
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fudge Pan: Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper to ensure the fudge doesn’t stick and can be easily removed once set.
  2. Mix Butter, Sugar, and Vanilla: In a mixer, blend the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, which forms the base of your fudge mixture.
  3. Add Flour and Salt: Incorporate the microwaved flour and salt into the butter mixture, mixing thoroughly to combine all dry and wet ingredients uniformly.
  4. Melt Chocolate and Condensed Milk: Gently melt the white chocolate together with the sweetened condensed milk. Once melted and smooth, stir this mixture into the flour blend to create a rich and creamy fudge batter.
  5. Fold in Blueberries and Coloring: Carefully fold in fresh blueberries along with blue and purple food coloring gels, giving the fudge a vibrant and appealing look reflective of blueberry muffins.
  6. Chill to Set: Pour the fudge batter into the prepared pan and place it in the refrigerator overnight to allow it to set firmly.
  7. Preheat Oven for Topping: When ready to prepare the topping, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for baking the oatmeal mixture.
  8. Prepare Oatmeal Topping: In a bowl, mix oatmeal, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and honey to create a sweet, crunchy topping mixture.
  9. Bake the Topping: Spread the oatmeal mixture evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to achieve a golden crisp texture.
  10. Assemble and Serve: Once the fudge has set, cut it into squares, then sprinkle the baked oatmeal topping and extra blueberries over the top before serving to add crunch and fresh flavor.

Notes

  • Microwaving the flour is necessary to remove moisture and ensure a better texture in the fudge.
  • Be gentle when folding in the blueberries to avoid crushing them and coloring the entire fudge.
  • The colored gels add visual appeal but do not affect flavor.
  • The baked oatmeal topping adds a crunchy texture contrast to the smooth fudge.
  • Refrigerate overnight for the best texture and flavor development.
