Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup white candy melts or white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup orange candy melts
- 3/4 cup yellow candy melts
Binding Ingredient:
- 9–12 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×5 loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring edges overhang for easy extraction. Lightly coat the parchment with nonstick spray.
- Create the white layer by gently melting white candy melts in the microwave at 50% power for 30-second intervals, stirring between each heating until completely smooth. Incorporate sweetened condensed milk, mixing thoroughly until uniform. Carefully spread the mixture evenly across the pan’s bottom using an offset spatula. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- For the orange layer, follow the same melting technique with orange candy melts, maintaining careful temperature control. Blend in sweetened condensed milk until consistency is glossy and well-combined. Delicately pour over the white layer, ensuring a clean, even surface. Return to refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Repeat the melting process with yellow candy melts, maintaining gentle heat and consistent stirring. Mix in sweetened condensed milk until texture is silky. Gently distribute over the orange layer, creating a smooth final surface.
- Allow the entire fudge to set completely in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until firm and fully consolidated.
- Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using parchment edges. Slice into traditional triangular candy corn shapes or classic rectangular pieces for serving.
Notes
- Check chocolate melts carefully to prevent burning, stirring frequently during microwave heating to maintain smooth consistency.
- Experiment with candy melt color ratios to create perfect candy corn gradient, ensuring each layer has similar thickness.
- Use room temperature sweetened condensed milk to help blend smoothly with melted candy melts and prevent clumping.
- Store fudge in airtight container in refrigerator for up to one week, separating layers with parchment paper to maintain texture and prevent sticking.
