My Blueberry Muffin Fudge story started one summer afternoon when I had fresh berries from the farmers market and a craving for something different. Taking the flavors of my favorite breakfast treat and turning them into this creamy silky fudge was pure kitchen magic. The way those sweet blueberries marble through that white chocolate base topped with that crunchy oatmeal crumble makes everyone ask for the recipe.
Sweet Summer Magic
What makes this fudge so special is how it brings together everything we love about blueberry muffins in a whole new way. That creamy fudge base studded with fresh berries gets even better with the oatmeal topping adding the perfect crunch. My neighbor caught me making a batch last week now she brings it to every gathering says it disappears faster than any other dessert.

My Kitchen Secrets
After making this fudge countless times I've learned all the tricks. Fresh berries are absolutely essential—frozen ones make everything too wet. Let your fudge come to room temperature for the creamiest texture, or keep it chilled if you like it firmer. That food coloring is totally optional but adds such a fun touch, especially for parties.
Make It Your Own
Want to change things up? Try adding some fresh lemon zest to the base—it gives everything a bright pop. Sometimes I'll mix in other berries; raspberries and blackberries work beautifully. For extra indulgence, drizzle some melted chocolate over that oatmeal topping—makes it even more special.
Keep It Fresh
This fudge stays perfect at room temperature for about five days—just keep it in a good sealed container. Pop it in the fridge if you like yours firmer. Want to make ahead? Wrap it well and freeze for up to three months—just thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
Perfect For Sharing
These pretty squares make the most wonderful gifts. I package them in little boxes lined with parchment paper, tie them with ribbon. During the holidays, I'll make several batches, keep them ready for unexpected guests or last-minute gifts. Everyone's eyes light up when they see that beautiful blue swirl.
