Ingredients for Candy Corn Fudge
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (12 oz) bag white baking chips (smooth base for fudge)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (creamy texture)
- 2 tablespoons butter (richness and flavor)
- Orange food coloring (for the candy corn look)
- Yellow food coloring (for the tri-color fudge effect)
Optional Add-Ins:
- Vanilla extract for a richer flavor
- Crushed candy corn for added texture
- Halloween sprinkles for party flair
Step-by-Step Instructions
Melt the Base
Combine white chips, condensed milk, and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until melted.
Tip: You can also melt the mixture in a double boiler for a smoother texture.
Mix Until Creamy
Stir the mixture until silky and lump-free.
Divide and Color
Separate into three equal bowls. Add 1–3 drops of yellow coloring to one, 1–3 drops of orange to another, leaving one bowl plain white.
Layer the Fudge
Line a bread pan or small square dish with parchment. Spread orange on the bottom, then yellow, and finish with white.
Chill and Slice
Refrigerate for at least two hours until set. Slice into small squares and serve as a candy corn dessert centerpiece.
