Semi-Sweet Chocolate Layer
- 1 ½ cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 5 ounces (liquid measure) sweetened condensed milk (180g by weight)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
White Chocolate Layer
- 1 ½ cups (255g) white chocolate chips
- 5 ounces (liquid measure) sweetened condensed milk (180g by weight)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Orange Gel Food Coloring, a few drops
Topping
- 24 pieces candy corn (or more for smaller fudge pieces)
- Cooking spray for pan
- Foil to line pan
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8-inch square pan with foil and spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 5 ounces of sweetened condensed milk. Heat at 50% power for 1 minute, then stir. Continue heating in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and melted. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Spread this layer evenly into the prepared pan using an offset spatula.
- Chill First Layer: Place the pan in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to let the semi-sweet chocolate layer set before adding the next layer.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and 5 ounces of sweetened condensed milk. Repeat the melting process as before: heat at 50% power for 1 minute, stir, and continue heating in 30-second intervals until smooth. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and a few drops of orange gel food coloring to tint the mixture.
- Layer White Chocolate: Spread the orange-tinted white chocolate layer evenly over the chilled semi-sweet chocolate layer using an offset spatula.
- Add Candy Corn Topping: Immediately press candy corn pieces evenly over the white chocolate layer to decorate and add texture.
- Final Chill & Serve: Place the pan back in the refrigerator to harden completely. Once firm, slice into pieces and serve at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Microwave wattages vary; adjust heat times accordingly to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Use an offset spatula for even layering and smooth surfaces.
- For smaller fudge pieces, add more candy corn on top before chilling.
- This fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Bring fudge to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
