No, it's not anyone's birthday around here but I wasn't about to let that stop me from making birthday cake fudge. You shouldn't let it stop you either as this fudge is just as delicious as you're no doubt already imagining. Seriously. Go make this now. Make it your Valentine's Day present to yourself.
I snagged the recipe from the kick-ass Mrs. Bettie Rocker, who is one of my favorite bloggers. She features some of the most amazing recipes out there and has a healthy appreciation for skulls. My kind of girl! Not only is her blog stylish (gotta love that red and turquoise combo) but it's also just the right amount of cutesy offset with plenty of sass. Check her out for some unbeatable recipes. Preferably once you've got a plateful of birthday cake fudge to keep you company.
Birthday Cake Fudge
Recipe from Mrs. Bettie Rocker
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 sticks margarine (I used one stick salted and 1/2 stick unsalted butter)
5 oz can (2/3 cup) evaporated milk
12 oz chopped white chocolate chips
7oz jar marshmallow creme
3 or 4 Tablespoons yellow cake mix (just the powdered MIX, not batter)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Blue food coloring
Rainbow sprinkles
Recipe from Mrs. Bettie Rocker
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 sticks margarine (I used one stick salted and 1/2 stick unsalted butter)
5 oz can (2/3 cup) evaporated milk
12 oz chopped white chocolate chips
7oz jar marshmallow creme
3 or 4 Tablespoons yellow cake mix (just the powdered MIX, not batter)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Blue food coloring
Rainbow sprinkles
1. Line an 8 or 9 inch square pan with foil, leaving the ends hanging over the edges of the pan. Spray foil thoroughly with nonstick spray.
2. Place the sugar, margarine, and evaporated milk in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly, and let boil for 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Add chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, and cake mix, stirring until chocolate chips are melted. Add vanilla and mix well.
4. Working quickly, pour about 1/3 of the fudge in a bowl and add a few drops of blue food coloring, mixing and adding until you achieve the desired shade. Pour white fudge into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Spoon blue fudge over the top, spacing it out. Using a sharp knife, draw swirls through the blue and white to create a marbled effect. Sprinkle the top generously with rainbow sprinkles before the top sets up.
5. Let store at room temperature until cool, then place in the refrigerator until firm.

I'm thinking you should have kept this recipe to yourself. I'm going to get into waaaaay too much trouble with it. :-) New follower from Paisley Passions.
My daughters would love this. I think I'll make it as one of the desserts at my 8 year old's b-day party in a few weeks.
