Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredients:
- Halloween sprinkles or candy (for topping)
- Orange and black food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by lining it completely with parchment paper, ensuring full coverage of the bottom and sides.
- Select a microwave-safe bowl and combine chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk, microwaving in 30-second increments while stirring thoroughly between each interval until the mixture becomes completely smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until fully integrated and creating a rich, aromatic base.
- Optional: Separate the fudge mixture into portions and introduce vibrant food coloring to craft distinct Halloween-inspired layers with contrasting hues.
- Transfer the entire fudge mixture into the prepared pan, carefully spreading it with a spatula to create an even, consistent surface.
- Embellish the top of the fudge with festive Halloween sprinkles or themed candy pieces, pressing them gently to ensure they adhere to the surface.
- Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing it to set completely and develop a firm, sliceable texture.
- Once fully set, remove the fudge from the refrigerator and slice into neat, uniform squares using a sharp knife, creating perfect bite-sized Halloween treats.
Notes
- Customize fudge colors using gel food coloring for vibrant Halloween hues without affecting texture.
- Swap traditional chocolate chips with dark or white chocolate for varied flavor profiles and dietary preferences.
- Prevent sticky cutting by wiping knife with warm water between slices for clean, precise edges.
- Store fudge in airtight container between parchment layers to maintain freshness and prevent flavor absorption from other foods.
