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 to ensure easy removal of the fudge squares once set.
- Melt Base Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Add Flavor and Divide Mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly. Then, divide the smooth fudge mixture evenly into three separate bowls.
- Add Food Coloring: In one bowl, mix in the yellow food coloring; in another, add the orange food coloring; leave the third bowl plain to remain white.
- Layer the Fudge: Pour the orange-colored fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Allow it to cool slightly for about 15 minutes.
- Add Remaining Layers: Next, pour the plain white fudge mixture over the orange layer and spread evenly. Follow with the yellow fudge layer on top, carefully spreading to maintain the layers.
- Top and Chill: Sprinkle chopped candy corn over the top layer as garnish. Refrigerate the fudge for at least two hours or until firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the baking dish. Cut into squares and serve as a delicious, festive treat.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to easily remove fudge without sticking.
- Allow each layer to slightly cool before adding the next to avoid blending the colors.
- For sharper layers, refrigerate for a few minutes between pouring each color.
- Chopped candy corn adds texture and visual appeal—reserve some whole pieces for topping.
- Store fudge squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
