Colorful White Chocolate Fudge Bars
Fudge is sometimes labeled as a holiday dessert for Christmas but I thought, why not make it for Halloween? This fun Hocus Pocus Fudge recipe is the perfect treat to whip up for Halloween this year. This recipe I created was incredibly easy to make but looks like a dessert that came right out of a magazine. It's simply made with a simple white chocolate fudge recipe, and then adding all our favorite Halloween colors to make them the perfect sweet treats for this Halloween season!
The bright colors in this white chocolate fudge are fantastic and perfect for Halloween. My husband and kids devoured the fudge, leaving only a tiny square for me. Not only does it look picture-perfect but it tastes amazing too! This hocus pocus fudge recipe was truly amazing. Let me tell you all about it!
Ingredients
To make Hocus Pocus fudge, you really only need a few basic ingredients. Here is what goes into my white chocolate fudge recipe:
- white chocolate chips - This is the base of the fudge
- sweetened condensed milk - This is what makes it taste so rich and creamy
- butter - use unsalted butter
- vanilla extract - this gives the fudge a deeper flavor
- food coloring - green, purple, and orange food coloring
It doesn't take much to make a tasty sweetened condensed milk fudge recipe! But the results are going to be great. I promise!
How to Make Easy White Chocolate Fudge
Making my easy chocolate fudge only takes a matter of minutes. Even if you are baking with kids, it will still only take about 30 minutes to put this fudge together. Here is how it is made:
1. Mix the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter and vanilla together in a bowl over a double boiler. Stir until the white chocolate chips are melted.
2. Divide the melted chocolate fudge mix between three bowls.
3. Add different color food coloring to each bowl and stir well. Adjust your colors if needed. I like them extra bright to fit the Hocus Pocus theme!
4. Pour all three colors of fudge into one 8x8 pan. Swirl them together to make a fun design.
5. Add Halloween sprinkles if you'd like then refrigerate the fudge for four hours.
6. Slice and enjoy the tasty Hocus Pocus treats!
The hardest part of this white chocolate fudge recipe is definitely the waiting. I want to eat the spooky, Halloween themed fudge right away! Waiting for it to set is almost impossible but, I must say, it's worth the wait! The creamy texture of the chilled fudge is delicious. It also slices so nicely once it is cold.
Halloween Fudge Tips
This homemade, Halloween-themed white chocolate fudge recipe is quite simple but there are a few tips and tricks I want to share. Hopefully these little extra tricks will help you make perfect white chocolate fudge on the very first try.
- Be patient. Melting the chocolate over a double boiler takes about 10 minutes. Be patient and do not turn up the heat or you risk burning the chocolate. Keep the heat low and stir occasionally.
- Store it correctly. Once the fudge is completely set, you can slice it and store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Make a big batch now and serve it on Halloween!
- Use the correct milk. Evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk are two very different things. Be sure to use sweetened condensed milk to make this fudge.
- Do not freeze. Resist the urge to put the fudge in the freezer to set faster. This will change the texture of the chocolate fudge and it will not be as creamy.
- Use gel food coloring. I like to use gel food coloring to dye my white fudge recipe. Gel food coloring has less water and the colors are more vibrant.
- Let kids help. If you are baking with kids, have them stir the food coloring into the chocolate, pour the dyed chocolate fudge into the pan and add the sprinkles. These simple tasks are perfect for little hands.
Making Hocus Pocus fudge is such a fun way to get into the Halloween spirit. This Halloween-themed white chocolate fudge recipe is so easy to make and will look super cool on a Halloween buffet. I know you are now planning on making this tasty hocus pocus treats, but what other Halloween plans do you have? The spooky holiday is right around the corner!
