Step-by-step

• In a heavy pan over low heat, melt butter while moving it around with a spatula to prevent browning.
• Immediately add sweetened condensed milk and then white chocolate chips.
• Continue stirring vigorously (so white chocolate doesn't seize) over low heat until chocolate chips have melted and mixture is smooth.
• Immediately remove from heat and stir in marshmallow crème.
• Working quickly, spread mixture into an 8x8 inch dish that's been lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with nonstick spray.
• Add a drop of food coloring to each corner of the pan or around the sides, if using more than four colors.
• Use a butter knife to swirl the colors around into the fudge.
• Sprinkle with Starburst Original Jellybeans, cover and refrigerate until firm.
• Lift foil from pan, cut into squares and enjoy!
