ingredients needed to make Halloween fudge including: chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, orange food coloring, butter and candy corn
  • Bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • White chocolate chips
  • Sweetened condensed milk: this recipe uses two 14-ounce cans

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Prepare pan

This candy corn fudge is nice and sticky, so be sure to follow the steps below to prevent it from sticking to your pan:

  • Use a 8" x 8" square pan.
  • Make two strips of 8" x 14" parchment paper.
  • Place one sheet of parchment over the pan and press it into the bottom and sides, creasing the paper where the edges of the pan meet.
  • Lay the second sheet of parchment crossed over the first sheet and extending up the sides of the pan.
  • Make sure parchment paper hangs over sides of the pan. These will act as handles to lift out the fudge.
  • Generously brush melted butter all over the parchment paper. Set pan aside.

Storage

You might be tempted to turn up the heat when melting chocolate chips, but resist the urge—they can easily burn. Keep heat on low, stirring slowly and constantly to prevent the chips from burning.

FAQ

What is the best way to cut this fudge?

Cutting fudge with a warm knife is an excellent way to achieve smooth edges. Simply run a sharp knife under hot water for a few seconds, then dry it thoroughly with a towel. Press the warm knife down through the fudge in one smooth, even motion. Re-warm the knife between cuts for best results.

    I love the classic, rich flavor of this fudge with the candy corn on top. I actually love candy corn so much, so I chopped some up and mixed the pieces directly into the fudge, as well.
