This fun no-bake candy is perfect for Halloween parties or a playful dessert, featuring swirled fudge peaks shaped like ghosts adorned with chocolate chip eyes and chocolate wafer smiles.
Ingredients
Fudge Base
- 24 ounces white chocolate (finely chopped bar or chips)
- 14 ounces (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
Decorations
- 12 mini chocolate chips (for eyes)
- 12 regular chocolate chips (for eyes)
- 6 chocolate wafers or Candy Melts (for smiles)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk until well mixed.
- Initial Heating: Heat the mixture at 70% power in the microwave for 90 seconds to start melting the chocolate.
- Rest and Stir: Let the bowl rest inside the microwave for 3 minutes, then carefully remove and stir the mixture.
- Second Heating: Heat again at 70% power for 30 seconds, then let rest for another 3 minutes before stirring, smashing any remaining chocolate chunks to ensure even melting. If not fully melted, allow the fudge to rest for 3 more minutes and stir again.
- Final Melting: If needed, heat in short 10-15 second increments at 70% power with resting and stirring after each until the fudge is completely smooth and melted.
- Cool and Set: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature for 20 minutes to cool slightly.
- Stir to Thicken: Remove the plastic wrap and stir the mixture thoroughly.
- Rest and Stir Again: Cover and let the fudge rest for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens to a frosting-like consistency.
- Prepare Piping Bag: Spoon the thickened fudge into a disposable pastry bag.
- Cut the Bag Tip: Snip the tip of the bag to create an opening about 3/4 inch wide for piping the fudge.
- Pipe the Ghosts: Press the tip of the bag onto a non-stick silicone mat or taped parchment paper. Squeeze out the fudge to form a mound, swirling to create a peak with 3-4 layers.
- Add Eyes: Immediately press one mini chocolate chip and one regular chocolate chip side by side into the fudge to form the eyes.
- Make Smiles: Cut the chocolate wafers into two smile shapes by trimming away about 1/8 inch from the middle piece.
- Attach Smiles: Press one smile piece into the fudge just below the eyes to complete the ghost’s face.
- Repeat: Continue creating 11 or 12 Poop Emoji Fudge Ghosts on the mat.
- Dry: Allow the fudge ghosts to dry for about 30 minutes so they set before gently moving them.
- Storage: Store the fudge ghosts in an airtight container or plastic bag for up to one month to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe bowl and heat the fudge mixture slowly at reduced power to avoid burning the white chocolate.
- If the fudge is not melting evenly, allow resting periods to help residual heat melt the chocolate fully.
- Work quickly when piping and decorating the fudge as it will thicken as it cools.
- Non-stick silicone mats or parchment paper prevent the fudge from sticking when forming shapes.
- Store fudge ghosts in a cool, dry place to prevent melting or softening.
