Description
This Halloween Fudge combines rich chocolate and creamy orange vanilla layers, topped with festive candy corn. It’s a quick, no-bake dessert that’s as spooky and beautiful as it is delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1½ cups (255g) white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
- Orange gel food coloring
- 24 pieces candy corn (or more if you prefer smaller fudge pieces)
Instructions
- Prepare your pan: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal.
- Make the chocolate layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips with half (about 7 ounces) of the sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Spread the chocolate fudge: Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Chill for 10–15 minutes to slightly firm up before adding the next layer.
- Make the orange vanilla layer: In a clean bowl, combine white chocolate chips with the remaining condensed milk. Microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and a few drops of orange gel food coloring. Mix until you reach your desired shade of orange.
- Layer the orange fudge: Pour the orange mixture gently over the chilled chocolate layer. Spread evenly with a spatula.
- Decorate: Press candy corn pieces gently into the top while the fudge is still soft.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
- Cut and serve: Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into small squares with a sharp knife.
Notes
To make cutting easier, run your knife under hot water and dry it before slicing. If your kitchen is warm, keep the fudge refrigerated until ready to serve for the best texture.
