Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layers
- 1 ½ cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups (255g) white chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can), divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
- Orange gel food coloring, a few drops
Topping
- 24 pieces candy corn (or more for smaller fudge pieces)
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8-inch square pan with foil and spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Semi-Sweet Chocolate Layer: Combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 5 ounces (liquid measure) of sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power for 1 minute, then stir. Continue heating in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Spread this mixture evenly in the prepared pan with an offset spatula.
- Chill First Layer: Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes to set the semi-sweet chocolate layer before adding the next layer.
- Make White Chocolate Layer: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips with 5 ounces (liquid measure) of sweetened condensed milk. Heat at 50% power for 1 minute, stirring after. Repeat heating in 30-second increments and stirring until melted and smooth. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and a few drops of orange gel food coloring until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the semi-sweet chocolate layer in the pan using an offset spatula.
- Add Candy Corn Topping: Immediately press candy corn pieces evenly into the top layer for decoration and added texture.
- Final Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the fudge until completely hardened. Once set, slice into squares and serve at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure to use an offset spatula for smooth layer spreading.
- Heating times may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage; adjust accordingly to avoid burning chocolate.
- Using gel food coloring prevents the fudge from becoming too runny compared to liquid food coloring.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
- For a playful variation, try adding sprinkles or chopped nuts with the candy corn topping.
