Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (720 milliliters) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 ounces / 396 grams) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters / 57 grams) unsalted butter
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredients:
- Halloween sprinkles
- Candy eyes
- Candy corn
Instructions
- Prepare an 8×8-inch pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring edges extend for easy extraction.
- Melt chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until completely smooth and glossy at approximately 110°F.
- Remove melted mixture from heat and incorporate vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to distribute evenly.
- Transfer the liquid fudge into the prepared pan, using a spatula to create an uniform surface with gentle, consistent strokes.
- Decorate the fudge immediately while still soft by sprinkling Halloween-themed embellishments like candy corn, festive sprinkles, and playful candy eyes across the surface.
- Press toppings gently into the fudge to ensure they adhere securely.
- Chill the decorated fudge in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until completely firm and set.
- Extract the fudge from the pan using parchment paper edges and slice into precise, bite-sized squares using a sharp knife.
Notes
- Customize the fudge with different Halloween-themed decorations like spooky chocolate skulls or orange and black sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut condensed milk to make this recipe vegan-friendly and inclusive for those with dietary restrictions.
- Ensure low and slow melting to prevent chocolate from burning or becoming grainy, which can ruin the smooth fudge texture.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, making it a perfect make-ahead treat for Halloween parties or gatherings.
