I first dreamed up this Cotton Candy Fudge while planning a whimsical birthday party for my niece. I wanted something that tasted like a carnival and looked like a cloud. As I melted the white chocolate with sweetened condensed milk, my kitchen filled with a sweet, creamy scent, and when I stirred in the pastel candy melts, the whole mixture swirled into the most magical shades of pink and blue. The moment it set and I cut into the creamy, smooth block, I knew I’d created something special. It’s pure, edible nostalgia—a fudge that tastes like spun sugar and childhood joy, and it always makes everyone’s eyes light up.
