While white chocolate adds a creamy sweetness to the fudge, you can certainly use milk chocolate if preferred. Just be aware that it will alter the flavor slightly.

Can I freeze Banana Fudge?
Yes, Banana Fudge can be frozen for up to three months. Just be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.
Can I omit the nuts from the recipe?
Absolutely! The nuts are optional and can be omitted for a nut-free version of Banana Fudge.
What you need to make Banana Fudge:
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Pinch of salt
How to make it:
Instructions:
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine mashed bananas, sugar, butter, condensed milk, and salt over medium heat.
Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and continue stirring for about 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and turns a light caramel color.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and white chocolate chips until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
If desired, fold in chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the mixture into a parchment-lined 8×8 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for an additional 2 hours or until set.
Once set, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Banana Fudge!
Tips:
Use ripe bananas for maximum flavor. Overripe bananas with brown spots work best as they are sweeter and have a stronger banana flavor.
Be patient while cooking the mixture. It’s essential to stir continuously to prevent burning and ensure a smooth texture.
Customize your fudge by adding nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture.
For best results, allow the fudge to set in the refrigerator for the specified time to ensure it firms up properly before cutting into squares.
