Candy Corn Fudge Ingredients

Sweetened condensed milk – the condensed milk adds sweetness and creates the right texture for the fudge.

Orange and yellow food coloring – the food coloring is necessary to create the two distinct layers in the Candy Corn Fudge.

How to make Candy Corn Fudge

The candy corn fudge is made with three different layers. First, you’ll need to melt together the white chocolate and mix it with the condensed milk. Divide the mixture into three parts. Keep the one part plain, and add the two different colors to the two other parts. Mix well. Layer the three colors into the tin, making sure to chill between each color (to avoid the colors from blending together).

Tips for 3-Ingredient Candy Corn Fudge

– Make a chocolate layer by either adding cocoa powder to the plain layer, or by melting dark chocolate chips with the condensed milk.

– To get smooth clean cuts from the fudge, make sure to clean your knife after each slice.
