Instructions
- Gently melt white chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over low heat, continuously stirring until achieving a silky smooth consistency.

- Optionally enhance visual appeal by introducing pink food coloring for a classic bubblegum aesthetic.
- Transfer the creamy mixture into a prepared 8×8-inch pan lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for approximately 2-3 hours, allowing it to solidify completely and develop a firm texture.

Notes
- Choose high-quality white chocolate chips for a smoother, creamier fudge texture.
- Adjust bubblegum flavoring gradually to prevent overwhelming sweetness.
- Ensure low and slow melting to avoid burning chocolate or separating ingredients.
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant pink color without altering liquid consistency.
- Line pan with parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner cutting of fudge squares.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For gluten-free version, verify all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
- Consider reducing sweetened condensed milk for less intense sweetness.
