If you’ve never tried butterbeer, you don’t know what you’re missing! My youngest and I have loved this popular drink ever since we first tried it at Harry Potter World in Universal Studios. We’ve even started making our own copycat Harry Potter Butterbeer recipe (SO easy!).
Last time I was at Universal, I popped into Sugarplum’s Sweet Shop in Diagon Alley and discovered their butterbeer fudge.
Of course I had to bring some home with me and it was so good that I knew I had to try making my own copycat recipe!

How To Make Butterbeer Fudge
Step 1: Start by making the butterscotch layer. Combine the sugar, butter, and heavy cream in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted.
Step 2: Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the butterscotch chips to get that delicious butterscotch flavor.
Step 3: Once the chips are melted, mix in the marshmallow creme and rum extract. Be sure not to overcook or you risk your fudge having a crumbly texture.
Step 4: Spread the mixture in a parchment paper lined 8×8 square pan. I used a nonstick pan but you can use a glass pan too. Place in the freezer to set while you make the white vanilla layer.
Step 5: To make the top of the butterscotch fudge layer, combine sugar, butter, and heavy cream in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the butter is completely melted.
Step 6: Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in a cup of white chocolate chips.
Step 7: When all the chocolate is melted, add the marshmallow crème and vanilla extract. Stir until the ingredients are well combined.
Step 8: Spread the white layer over the butterscotch layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
Step 9: Once the butterbeer fudge is chilled, place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into squares. I found that cutting 30 squares gave you the perfect bite size pieces.
You can never go wrong with fudge recipes and this copycat butterbeer fudge recipe is perfect for your Harry Potter party or just a fun treat to enjoy while you watch Harry Potter movies.
This is one of my favorite easy recipes and it’s such a fun treat for Harry Potter fans. It also makes a great gift idea!
How to store butterbeer fudge
Chance are, you won’t have any left over but if you do, just place your fudge in an airtight container and store at room temperature.
It’s best not to refrigerate it since that can cause your fudge to dry out. Also, if you’re stacking them, it’s best to put a layer of wax paper between them.
How long will it be good
Stored properly, your fudge will be good for up to a month.
Can you freeze fudge
Yes, you can freeze this for up to three months. Just take it out of the freezer an hour or two before you want to eat it and you’ll be good to go.
