Today’s fudge recipe combines all the flavors of an ice cold class of pink lemonade with the soft, sweet creaminess of homemade Vanilla Fudge.

Ingredient Notes

Ingredients needed for pink lemonade fudge.
  • Marshmallow Creme. Also called “fluff”, this ingredient helps give the fudge a soft melt-in-your-mouth texture. Use our homemade marshmallow fluff if you can’t find it in stores.
  • Kool-Aid Pink Lemonade Mix. You will need one packet (0.23 ounches) of lemonade mix for this recipe.
  • White Chocolate. You’ll need white chocolate chips AND a bag of white chocolate melting wafers. The melting wafers are used to drizzle over the fudge, as we find they do a better job than the morsels.

    1. Just made this fudge used cherry kool aid. Couldn’t find pink lemonadekool aid ANY WHERE! I was a little disapointed . My husband nd neighbor really like it. Not bad the consistency is perfect. I will be making this fudge again it was very easy. Next time it will be pink lemonade!
      Thanks for a great easy recipe with good results

    2. 5 stars
      Never been a huge fudge fan until now! This fudge is absolutely amazing and delicious! Made some for my daughter’s Marching Band Bake Sale and it just flew off the table! Have gotten so many compliments and making more for the next sale. Absolutely love your site and so glad I found it!

    3. I got more of a gooey consistency when i combined everything and there was yellow liquid like butter that would not combine in. What went wrong ?

    4. The KoolAid pink lemonade packets are available on Amazon: 2 for $2 something; 6 for $6 plus, if you are on Amazon and have Prime.

    5. Can you use a different brand of lemonade? Like Country time Pink Lemonade? Im having a hard time finding the koolaid one…
