Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Coloring and Topping
- ½ tsp yellow food coloring
- ½ tsp orange food coloring
- 1 cup candy corn (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the edges extend beyond the sides to allow easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Melt fudge base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and fully melted.
- Divide and color the fudge: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Divide the fudge mixture evenly into three separate bowls. Add yellow food coloring to one bowl, orange to the second, and leave the third plain white.
- Layer the fudge: Pour the orange-colored fudge into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Allow it to cool slightly for about 15 minutes to start setting. Next, add the plain white fudge evenly on top, followed by the yellow-colored fudge as the final layer.
- Add toppings and chill: Sprinkle chopped candy corn generously over the top layer. Refrigerate the baking dish for at least two hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Serve: Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the dish. Cut into squares and serve immediately or store in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure to stir continuously while melting to prevent burning the white chocolate.
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without affecting the fudge’s consistency.
- Allow each layer to cool slightly before adding the next to maintain clear, distinct layers.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- The fudge can be served chilled or at room temperature, depending on preference.
