Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g white chocolate chips good quality for a silky texture
  • 60 ml sweetened condensed milk adds richness and sweetness
  • 100 g orange candy melts vibrant color and flavor
  • 100 g yellow candy melts bright and cheerful
  • 50 g mini candy corn for topping and crunch
  • a pinch sea salt optional, balances sweetness
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional, adds warmth

Equipment

  • Heatproof mixing bowl
  • Double boiler or microwave
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Parchment paper
  • 8-inch square baking pan
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Line your 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a heatproof bowl.
  3. Melt the mixture over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring well each time, until smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour half of the melted mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula, smoothing the surface.
  5. Warm the orange and yellow candy melts separately, then drop small dollops randomly over the layer, swirling gently with a toothpick to create a marbled effect.
  6. Sprinkle the mini candy corn evenly over the top, pressing lightly to embed them into the surface.
  7. Repeat the process with the remaining melted mixture, spreading on top and adding more candy melts and candy corn if desired.
  8. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt and a splash of vanilla extract over the surface, if using, to enhance flavor.
  9. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours until the fudge is firm and set.
  10. Once chilled, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang and transfer to a cutting board.
  11. Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into small squares, wiping the blade for clean cuts.
  12. Arrange the pieces on a platter and enjoy this vibrant, nostalgic treat that’s perfect for sharing.

Notes

For added texture, fold in chopped nuts or switch candy types for variety. Keep the fudge refrigerated to maintain its firm texture.
