Why You’ll Love This Fudge
- Perfectly spooky – Red and black swirls look just like a poisoned apple.
- Easy to make – A simple stovetop and microwave recipe.
- Rich & creamy – Sweet, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Party-ready – A stunning Halloween dessert for any spooky gathering.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red gel food coloring
- Black gel food coloring
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Optional: edible glitter or black sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the pan
Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly butter the paper.
Step 2: Make the base fudge
In a saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, and white chocolate chips. Stir constantly until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Step 3: Add the colors
Divide the fudge mixture evenly into two bowls. Tint one bowl with red gel food coloring until deep red, and the other with black food coloring until dark and spooky.
Step 4: Swirl the fudge
Spoon dollops of red and black fudge into the prepared pan. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.
Step 5: Set & slice
Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until firm. Lift out of the pan and cut into squares. Decorate with edible glitter or sprinkles if desired.
Tips for Success
- Use gel food coloring – Liquid coloring can make the fudge too runny.
- Don’t over-swirl – A few swirls give a magical marbled effect without blending the colors too much.
- Add flavor – Try a drop of apple extract for a candy apple vibe.
- Storage – Keep fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Fun Variations 🎃
- Witch’s Brew Fudge – Swap red for green food coloring and swirl with black.
- Glitter Poison Fudge – Add edible glitter for a sparkling, enchanted look.
- Caramel Apple Fudge – Add a drizzle of caramel sauce before swirling for extra sweetness.
