Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer
- 1 ½ cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 5 ounces sweetened condensed milk (180g by weight)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
White Chocolate Layer
- 1 ½ cups (255g) white chocolate chips
- 5 ounces sweetened condensed milk (180g by weight)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Orange gel food coloring (a few drops)
Toppings
- 24 pieces candy corn (or more for smaller pieces)
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8-inch square pan with foil and spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Chocolate Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and 5 ounces sweetened condensed milk. Heat at 50% power for 1 minute, then stir. Continue heating in 30-second increments until melted and smooth. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Spread evenly in the prepared pan using an offset spatula.
- Chill First Layer: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill the chocolate layer for 10 minutes to set before adding the next layer.
- Make White Chocolate Layer: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and 5 ounces sweetened condensed milk. Heat at 50% power for 1 minute, stir, and continue heating in 30-second increments until melted and smooth. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and a few drops of orange gel food coloring to tint the fudge.
- Add White Chocolate Layer: Spread the orange-tinted white chocolate layer evenly over the chilled chocolate layer using an offset spatula.
- Top with Candy Corn: Immediately press candy corn evenly into the top of the fudge to decorate.
- Chill to Harden: Refrigerate the assembled fudge for 1 hour or until fully set and firm.
- Serve: Slice into 24 pieces and serve at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Measure sweetened condensed milk by liquid ounces or weight (5 ounces or 180g) for accuracy since can labels differ by liquid or weight.
- Use gel food coloring instead of liquid food coloring to avoid breaking the chocolate and to achieve bright, vibrant colors.
- Adjust candy corn quantity if you prefer smaller fudge pieces or a denser topping.
- Use an offset spatula for smooth, even layers to ensure a neat presentation.
