Ingredients
Scale
White Chocolate Layer
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red food coloring (for the “blood” swirl)
Dark Chocolate Layer
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (or semisweet chocolate)
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper to ensure the fudge can be easily lifted out once set.
- Make the White Chocolate Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Stir in the vanilla extract, then add a few drops of red food coloring. Use a toothpick to swirl the red into the white chocolate, creating a blood-like swirl effect.
- Make the Dark Chocolate Layer: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips together with the sweetened condensed milk. Use the same 30-second interval method, stirring well after each session until smooth and fully combined.
- Assemble the Fudge: Pour the white chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Gently spread the dark chocolate mixture over the white chocolate layer without mixing the two fully.
- Create Swirl Effect: Use a toothpick or the back of a spoon to lightly swirl the dark and white chocolate layers together. This will give a marbled appearance with a spooky vibe suitable for Halloween.
- Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for about 2 hours, or until the fudge is completely set and firm.
- Cut and Serve: Lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper edges. Cut into squares or rectangles as desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure to stir the chocolate mixtures thoroughly between microwave intervals to prevent burning.
- Use good quality white and dark chocolate chips for a smoother texture and richer flavor.
- The red food coloring swirl adds a festive and spooky touch but can be omitted if preferred.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content.
