8 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups red velvet cake mix
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
Prepare the Butter
- Melt the butter fully, either on the stovetop or in a microwave-safe container. Set aside for immediate use.
Combine the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, add the red velvet cake mix, powdered sugar, melted butter, and milk. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a smooth, uniform fudge mixture.
Prepare the Pan
- Line an appropriate baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring excess parchment hangs over the sides to facilitate lifting once the fudge is set.
Spread the Fudge Mixture
- Transfer the prepared fudge mixture into the parchment-lined pan. Spread evenly using a spatula to achieve a smooth, level surface.
Chill the Fudge
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the fudge to set for 2 to 4 hours, or until firm to the touch.
Slice and Serve
- Once fully set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into even pieces and serve or store as desired.
Notes
This recipe can be made gluten-free by selecting a certified gluten-free red velvet cake mix, as traditional boxed cake mixes typically contain wheat. To ensure full gluten safety:
- Confirm that the cake mix, powdered sugar, and butter are produced in gluten-free facilities.
- Use parchment paper and clean utensils to avoid cross-contamination.
- Store the fudge separately from gluten-containing desserts if serving to individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
