Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Layers
- 3/4 cup orange candy melts
- 3/4 cup yellow candy melts
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts
- 9-12 Tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Grease and line a 9″ x 4″ loaf pan or a similar small baking tray with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the fudge after it sets.
- Melt Candy Coatings: Place white chocolate chips or white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 25-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each session until fully melted and smooth.
- Mix White Layer: Stir in 3 to 4 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk into the melted white chocolate mixture, adjusting to achieve your preferred softness. Pour and spread this mixture evenly into the prepared pan using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Chill in the refrigerator to set.
- Melt Orange Layer: Repeat the melting process with the orange candy melts, microwaving in short bursts and stirring until smooth.
- Mix Orange Layer: Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk to the orange candy melts and mix well. Spread this layer evenly over the set white fudge.
- Melt Yellow Layer: Similarly, melt the yellow candy melts and stir in the remaining sweetened condensed milk to your taste.
- Top with Yellow Layer: Pour and smooth the yellow candy melt mixture over the orange layer, creating a vibrant three-color fudge.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled fudge for at least 3 hours or overnight until firm. Once set, cut into squares and serve as a festive Halloween treat.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to control the fudge’s softness; more milk yields a softer texture.
- If candy melts are difficult to melt, stir frequently and microwave in short intervals to avoid burning.
- Use an offset spatula for smooth layers and neater presentation.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Variations can include adding edible glitter or small Halloween themed sprinkles on top before chilling.
