Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa or higher)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Decoration and Swirl

  • 1/4 cup red food coloring gel
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Edible red glitter (optional for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there is an overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge later on.
  2. Combine Main Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add the dark chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter together.
  3. Heat and Melt: Warm the mixture over low heat, stirring consistently until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Add Flavorings: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt to incorporate flavors evenly.
  5. Pour Base Layer: Transfer the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an even layer.
  6. Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20-second bursts, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.
  7. Add Color: Stir the red food coloring gel into the melted white chocolate until the color is uniformly mixed.
  8. Create Swirl Effect: Pour the red-colored white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer, then use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the two layers together, creating a dramatic ‘bloody’ effect.
  9. Decorate: Optionally, sprinkle edible red glitter atop the fudge for an extra spooky and festive touch.
  10. Chill: Place the fudge in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours until it is fully set and firm.
  11. Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan, cut it into squares, and enjoy your hauntingly delicious treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the heat is on low when melting the chocolate to prevent burning or seizing.
  • Use a high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for the best flavor intensity.
  • The red food coloring gel provides a vivid color without diluting the chocolate texture.
  • Edible glitter is optional but adds a fun, festive look perfect for Halloween.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
