Ingredients
Scale
Dark Chocolate Layer
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ can (7 oz) sweetened condensed milk
White Chocolate Layer
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ½ can (7 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup colorful candy-coated chocolates
Topping
- Extra mini chocolate chips and candy-coated chocolates for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent the fudge from sticking.
- Melt Dark Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips together with half of the sweetened condensed milk using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth.
- Spread Dark Layer: Pour the melted dark chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Allow it to cool slightly to set.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips with the remaining condensed milk, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt for enhanced flavor.
- Add Mix-ins: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips and colorful candy-coated chocolates into the white chocolate mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
- Layer White Chocolate: Pour the white chocolate mixture over the dark chocolate layer and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Top & Press: Sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips and candy-coated chocolates on top, pressing them in slightly so they adhere well.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours until firm and set completely.
- Serve: Once chilled, cut the fudge into 16 equal squares and enjoy your rich, colorful treat!
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
- The fudge requires chilling time to set properly; avoid cutting it too soon.
- For a different twist, swap the candy-coated chocolates with your favorite nuts or dried fruits.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- If melting chocolate in the microwave, stir well between intervals to prevent burning.
