Description

Candy Corn Fudge is a delightful, no-bake white chocolate fudge that’s perfect for Fall and Halloween festivities. Made with just four simple ingredients, this quick and easy recipe takes only 10 minutes to prepare, plus chilling time, resulting in colorful, layered fudge that looks like candy corn and tastes deliciously creamy and sweet.


Ingredients

Fudge Base

  • 1 12oz bag of white baking chips
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Coloring

  • Orange food coloring (liquid or gel, 1-3 drops)
  • Yellow food coloring (liquid or gel, 1-3 drops)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add the white baking chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. This combination forms the creamy fudge base that will be melted together.
  2. Melt Mixture: Microwave the bowl on high power in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chips using a double boiler on the stovetop for more controlled heating.
  3. Stir Smooth: Ensure the mixture is smooth and creamy by stirring it well until all the white chocolate chips have fully melted and are incorporated with the condensed milk and butter.
  4. Divide Mixture: Separate the melted fudge mixture evenly into three separate bowls to prepare for color layering.
  5. Add Food Coloring: Add 1 to 3 drops of yellow food coloring to one bowl and 1 to 3 drops of orange food coloring to another. Stir each bowl until the color is evenly mixed. Leave the third bowl uncolored for the white layer.
  6. Layer Fudge: Line a bread pan or similar sized container with parchment paper. Pour and spread the orange colored fudge evenly into the bottom, followed by the yellow colored fudge layer, and finally the white fudge layer on top, creating a layered candy corn effect.
  7. Chill: Place the pan into the refrigerator for at least two hours to allow the fudge to fully set and firm up for easy slicing.
  8. Slice and Serve: Once chilled and firm, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper, slice into small bite-sized squares, and serve as a festive treat.

Notes

  • The fudge begins setting quickly, which allows for easy layering without the colors blending or spreading excessively.
  • You can use either liquid or gel food coloring; gel is more concentrated, so use less to achieve vibrant colors.
  • Use a parchment-lined pan to help remove the fudge easily once set.
  • If not consuming immediately, store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
