If you follow Sally’s Baking Addiction on facebook, you may remember me posting about this fudge last week. I’m a new featured publisher for the Culinary.net network and this fudge was my first entry, so I shared it on my facebook page. It was so popular, Culinary.net made my pictures and recipe into a short video!
I made this fudge for a few celebratory reasons. Not only was I celebrating my debut on Culinary.net, but it is my birthday this weekend!This fudge is so easy to make. 5 minutes of prep, 1 hour of chilling, and you’re done. No oven, no mixer, no sweat, no fret! This cake batter fudge combines cake mix from a box, powdered sugar, butter, milk, white chocolate chips, and a ton of sprinkles.
{life…is just better with sprinkles}
I made this fudge with both yellow cake mix and white cake mix. Both versions are equally as tasty. The yellow version (above) has more of a yellowish tint and the white version (below) is purely white. I love them both!

This no-bake fudge, full of cake batter flavor, is so easy and delicious, you’ll want to make it time and time again. Makes 36 squares. Store in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
- 2 cups + 2 Tbsp Betty Crocker Supermoist white or yellow cake mix (or any brand white or yellow cake mix)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, cut into 4 pieces
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Spray 8×8 baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Mix together cake mix and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Add milk and butter (do not stir them in) and microwave for 2 minutes. Once done, immediately begin mixing everything together. The batter will be very thick. Fold in white chocolate and sprinkles. Stir gently. You do not want the sprinkles to leak their color.
- Spoon into prepared baking pan, making sure it is level and smooth at the top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Cut into squares and enjoy.

A XXL Buttery Soft Sugar Cookie would be perfect for celebrating a birthday too.
This cookie is over-the-top huge, soft, fluffy, and not hard like some sugar cookies out there.
It’s also chock-full of SPRINKLES! 
Like today’s fudge, my Golden Oreo Cake Batter Blondies are also full of cake batter flavor!
I love the HUGE Golden Oreo chunks in there!
My Loaded Sugar Cookie Bars are always a hit at parties!
I like to throw in any add-ins I have on hand – M&Ms, sprinkles, peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, you name it!

do you have a source where you buy your sprinkles? my grocery store is LAME. Target, seasonally, is okay. Just curious…
Averie @ Averie Cooks recently posted..Mini Grilled Cheese and Tomato Sandwiches
thank you Averie! I get my sprinkles from the grocery store and Michaels. I recently ordered them from the Wilton website. They are much cheaper at the grocery store though. Target has LAME sprinkles. Such dull colors!
That’s so fantastic, Sally, a big congrats! We’re both almost birthday buddies. Mine is this Thursday.
The cake batter fudge sounds so awesome and easy, I’m definitely going to try it. I’m into making bars and bites at the mo.

Sprinkles make everything better!
Happy Birthday!
This is genius! I am in love with eating raw cake batter, so this looks like the perfect alternative to avoid getting sick. They would make a perfect addition to a birthday party dessert table and seem so simple! Thank for sharing.

Thank you so much Georgia!!
Wow! These look so delicious, I can’t wait to try this recipe. I love anything white chocolate, and I’m sure these will be fantastic!!
i love white chocolate… the name of your blog would suit me well!
Cake batter fudge looks like a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday… I may need to whip up a batch for myself
Have a great birthday weekend, Sally!
Life is better with cake batter fudge! And everything else you create! This is so pretty! It makes me happy just looking at it. Eating it would send me over the moon. Congrats on your new gig!

Reeni recently posted..Bacon, Sour Cream and Dill Potatoes
Reeni thank you so much!! xo
This is such a wonderful idea!! You aren’t alone — I get bored by regular chocolate fudge too. I never would’ve thought to make a cake batter version! So excited to try this out. Have a wonderful birthday weekend!
Jessica recently posted..How to Turn Wooden Rubber Stamps Into Cling Mount Stamps
Yes, Jessica I agree… regular chocolate fudge is boring! lol Thank you for the birthday wishes!
Happy Birthday
I hear you on the raw eggs thing, but I can change your baking life. There are pasteurized shell eggs out there, Davidson Safe Eggs. They are awesome. They are the only eggs I bake with because I can’t bear to throw away that little bit of tasty leftover batter. Plus, the batter is often the best part of the baked good. Give them a try; I bet you’ll love them.
Laura Dembowski recently posted..White Chocolate Gingerbread Blondies
Thank you for the birthday wishes Laura! you are zoo sweet.
I’ve never heard of or seen those eggs before!
This looks delicious! I bookmark cookie, truffle, fudge recipes all year to make during the Christmas season, and I am definately adding this to my list, with an easy substitute of red and green sprinkles. Thanks!
Jenna recently posted..Asparagus with Green Garlic and Goat Cheese Gnocchi
Jenna, I LOVE the idea of cake batter fudge with red + green sprinkles for the holidays. I’m going to do that for sure!
WOW, do I really need to tell you how yummy these look? Or can I just sit here and drool on my keyboard? I can’t wait to try this recipe. I love cake batter flavor and just started making recipe with it. Thanks so much for sharing at Creative Thursday.
I still drool over these when I look at the pictures on this post…
You’re being featured on Creative Thursday this week
Stop by and take a peek.

No way. I’m seriously droooooooling. All your cake batter creations are amazing!
Sophie recently posted..Chocolate Cookies
Thanks Sophie! I have a thing for cake batter
I can tell! and I totally support it. lol(;
Made these last night and my husband and his co workers are going gaga over them. The time it took was so short my husband was like “I thought you were baking tonight”. HA!
Hi Rebekah! Soo glad to hear the fudge was a hit! I have made it twice in 3 weeks!! And I love the short “bake” time
What great and creative ideas! And yummy looking too..will have to try some of them.
thanks for the ideas. Cindy
Thanks Cindy!
Happy Birthday!
The fudge with the sprinkles looks GREAT – I really like it
Happy belated Birthday, Sally!
And thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. It was very popular on RecipeNewZ and as such was featured on our new Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/RecipeNewZ. Congrats!
Thank you so much!!
This looks so delicious and I LOVE cake batter but I’m not a fan of white chocolate. What would happen if I leave it out? Or do they just enhance the cake batter taste? I was wondering the same about the Cake Batter Blondies too. Thank you!
Unfortunately Lia, you couldn’t make this cake batter fudge without the cake mix. A good white chocolate fudge recipe can be found here: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/White-Chocolate-Fudge
I love this almost as much as I love Justin Bieber
Cake batter fudge WITH sprinkles. I’ve died and gone to heaven!!!
Bronya Seifert recently posted..The Cake Walk – Isle of Wight Part 4
I tried to make this cake batter white chocolate fudge and it’s not setting up. I’ve had it in the fridge for almost 12 hours now, and it’s just not hardening. I can’t figure out what I did wrong. I substituted Funfetti cake mix, since it’s cake batter with candies already in it. Do you think this could be the issue?
That’s strange Julie, I’m sorry to hear it didn’t work out! I used Betty Crocker’s cake mix the 4 times I’ve made the fudge. Others have made it too and I haven’t heard any problems yet. I would try it with a Betty Crocker mix since I know that is what works. You may have used a tad too much milk and not enough powdered sugar as well. I hope it works next time!
these were so good!! big hit in my house but instead of yellow or white cake i used funfettie wich comes with sprinkles anyways so no need to add them in (:
Kailey – I love it! What a great idea. I should do that next time.
Delicious! Easiest recipe I’ve made in quite a long time.
So glad to hear it! It’s probably one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made as well!
Congrats on all your success. What an amazing achievement. I love the look of your fudge. It’s so pretty and it screams ‘celebration’. Have a great birthday!
Hotly Spiced recently posted..A Brief Career
Thanks so much!
Can you make this recipe by just heating things on the stove? I have no microwave…
Definitely! I would melt the butter first and then add the cake mix in. Stir, then continue with the recipe instructions.
This looks sooo good. Going to try it this week. Using cake mix as a flavor has opened up a whole new world of possibilities. I’m always looking for new flavors.
I am a cake batter fool! Love putting cake mix into recipes
I LOVE cake batter recipes! This fudge sounds awesome!
Christina @Sweet Pea’s Kitchen recently posted..Loaded Baked Potato Dip
Hi Sally! This looks like a great recipe and I can’t wait to make it! I’m actually thinking of making this to ship to my friend who’s in Afghanistan- do you know how well they’ll travel if I store them in the fridge/a freezer until RIGHT BEFORE i ship it off?
Maggie recently posted..Terrible Trailer: Twilight: Breaking Dawn part 2
I wouldn’t suggest freezing the fudge.. simply make it and let it harden/set in the fridge. Make it the day you send it, too. It should be fine shipping. Thanks so much Maggie! That’s so sweet of you to send goodies.
Hi Sally! Can you tell me where the mixing bowls came from? Totally love them.
Hey Shannon! Thank you! The mixing bowls are Zak! Designs. I got them here: http://www.zak.com/Confetti-4pc-Bowl-Set–Assorted-Brights_p_934.html
Thanks for the info on the mixing bowls. I made this fudge for my girls and they absolutely loved it. It didn’t last long around here. You are very talented, thank you for sharing your creations on this blog. I love to cook but I don’t create recipes myself.
Thank you Shannon! When I made this fudge and brought it into work, it lasted 15 minutes. THAT’S IT! So glad your girls loved it too.
Found the cake batter fudge on Pintrest… Just tried making them… They are delicious! I am in sugar heaven! I only let them cool for 45 mins-1 hr but they were still tough enough to be fudge. I got such a sugar rush! I am so doing these for thanksgiving! Thank you so much!
Hi Kayla! SO wonderful to hear that! I’m glad you like it – it’s a crazy addicting little fudge to have around. Very sweet, indeed. Great addition to thanksgiving
Yumm. Made it for a bday party last weekend. Just made with pumpkin spice kisses and a little pumpkin pie spice.
pumpkin kisses in the fudge? i love that idea! Thanks for letting me know!
Honestly the first time i’ve ever made fudge….AMAZING!! I absolutely love love loved them!
I have this fudge in the frig hardening up right now! It sure looks yummy… can’t wait to try it this afternoon.
I’m wondering if I could substitute any boxed cake flavor for my next batch(I’m thinking strawberry). Too me, it seems like it wouldn’t make a difference, but I’m not an expert! Have you tried it? Do different mixes have different consistencies?
Thanks, and I LOVE your blog! This fudge is the 3rd recipe of yours that I’m using! And I cannot wait to keep coming back for more!
Hi Sari! How did the fudge turn out? I love this recipe! I turn to it when I need something that I know will please EVERYONE. You may certainly use other cake mix flavors, yes! What other fudge recipes have you made? Thank you for the sweet compliments!
just made this – it tastes really good but a little too hard for my liking. I like when fudge is fudgey, not rock hard. Not sure what went wrong, I followed the recipe exactly..
Hi Cindy, sorry to hear that! It’s usually very soft for me. Try adding less powdered sugar next time. Thanks!
I used the exact amount of everything in the recipe, why would I need to use less?
You would need to use less because your fudge was too hard… at least that is what I understood from your comment? With the ingredient amounts posted in the recipe, we’ve found the fudge to be like regular fudge – not too hard and not extremely soft and hard to manage/pick up with your hands. Since you said that your fudge was too hard for you, I am suggesting you use less powedered sugar which solidifies the fudge. I hope this helps. Thanks!
This fudge is delicious!! My oldest son loves it so much that he rather have cake batter white chocolate fudge for his birthday than cake!! Thanks for the recipe, it’s a winner
That is too funny Shari! I know, I love this fudge too – and I think your son may be onto something. think we can squeeze a candle in the fudge for a birthday? Haha! Happy New Year and thanks for letting me know you both loved it so much!
I really want to make this, but I don’t use a lot of cake mixes so I’m not sure how to read your directions; do you make the cake batter following the instructions on the box and then add the batter to your other ingredients listed, or do you use the just the powder/flour straight from the box? And also, can I substitute candy melts for chocolate chips?
Yes, use the powder mix – do not make the batter as called for on the back of the box. And you may substitute chopped candy melts for the white chocolate chips here.
I made this today except. I used red velvet cake instead. It turned out awesome!
glad to hear that Kristan! Yum
This looks so tasty! I’d like to send some fudge through the mail, and I’m just wondering how long you think this would last in a sealed air-tight container? Thanks!
Hey Mikayla! I’d say about 5 days.
Hi Sally, these look great and thinking about making for the Superbowl. Just wondering what kind of milk you used and if you think almond milk would work?
Thanks!
Hey Megan! I actually used almond milk for this fudge – so yes, it works! Hope you enjoy!
Hi Sally !!!
I really really love all your recipes but I live in France and we don’t have any “white or yellow cake mix” over here
So, can you tell me what kind of recipe is it ? Because I guess I’ll have to make it myself.
Fudge is my favorite thing but I don’t know how to make this recipe …
Thanks!
Your blog is amazing!
(Sorry for my english! I’m working on it ^^)
Hi Sonia! Thank you so much for the comment. White/Yellow cake mix is just a prepackaged/processed mix to bake a cake or cupcakes. You can use the dry mix to get a “cake batter” taste. However, I do not suggest making your own cake mix for this particular fudge recipe. I suggest making white chocolate fudge and adding sprinkles. Here is a great white chocolate fudge recipe of mine to use. Just do not add the peppermint extract or the candy canes. Use 1/2 cup of sprinkles instead. Thank you so much! Let me know if you have any questions.
Good luck Sonia! http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/11/13/candy-cane-chocolate-swirl-fudge/
Amazing, thank you so much !!!
Instead, I made this (http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/06/28/chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-fudge/) for tonight (It’s already 9:20pm here!) and it is absolutely delicious, I love it
But next time, I’ll try with your white chocolate fudge recipe.
I think you should come in France and open a pastry, people would totally love it!
Thank you again!
I love that cookie dough fudge too Sonia! So glad you made that one. And I’d love to come to France and open a shop. I’ve never been there before.
We’re waiting for you !
People are more “Macarons” & “Cannelés” … so, we need someone like you.
soooo.. i don’t have white chocolate chips.. would maybe white icing work instead??
Mara, icing will not work in this fudge recipe. Just leave out the white chocolate chips. Enjoy!
I don’t have white chocolate chips, but I have plenty of white chocolate almond bark. Could I shave off some almond bark into peices and use that instead?
You sure can, Sarah! In fact, that sounds wonderful. I may have to try it. =)
This is my third time making the fudge- I absolutely love it! My friend also asked for the recipe after having some, and my family devours every piece in a day or two. Fantastic recipe! One of my favourites on this site so far.
That’s great to hear Courtney! I love this fudge too.
Hi there!
Oh my goodness, so keen to make this for my 21st this weekend!! Just wondering how many grams of butter a stick of butter counts as? Just want to do it right
so super keen, thanks so much for posting this!!
Hi Grace! Happy early birthday. 1 stick of butter = 113.5 gr
Hi Sally! This recipe look delicious, but one question can you make it with chocolate cake mix?
Hey Alexis! Yes, you can.
Now these look absolutely amazing!! Fudge is one of my favorite sweets! These definitely needs to be part of my life

I’ve been reading your site for a few months now and I am in LOVE!! I’ve bookmarked tons of your recipes and have already made the Dark Choco Raspberry Banana Bread, White Choco Mango Banana Bread, Raspberry Sweet Rolls, etc. Since it’s hard to get cake mixes in Korea, I jumped for joy when my Michigan-residing Aunt sent me a couple. I promptly made the cake batter choco chip cookies and my daughter gobbled them up! Today’s agenda was the cake batter fudge, and I just had a piece-insanely good! Thanks so much for taking the time to share these wonderful recipes! xoxoxo
Hi Siunna! Thank you so much for not only reading, but for saying hello as well. You picked a few amazing recipes to make! Some of my very favorites like that raspberry banana bread.
I love that you had a family member send you cake mix! So happy you are enjoying my recipes. Thanks!
btw I made your cake batter choco chip cookies last week as well and posted that and the fudge on my website…Please drop by and take a look!
will do!
