Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 package salted caramel melts
  • 1 package green candy melts
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Supporting Ingredients:

  • 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) coconut condensed milk

Flavoring:

  • 1 teaspoon green apple flavoring

Instructions

  1. Prepare a parchment-lined 8×8 inch pan, ensuring edges are fully covered for easy removal.
  2. Melt salted caramel candy melts with sweetened condensed milk in microwave at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth and glossy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  3. Create green apple mixture by combining green candy melts, sweetened condensed milk, and green apple flavoring, microwaving at 50% power and stirring frequently until mixture becomes uniform and silky.
  4. Carefully pour caramel and green apple mixtures into prepared pan in alternating streams, creating a beautiful marbled pattern.
  5. Use a toothpick or thin skewer to gently swirl the two mixtures, developing intricate design without overmixing.
  6. Refrigerate fudge for 4-5 hours or until completely set and firm to the touch.
  7. Remove fudge from pan using parchment paper edges, slice into precise square pieces, and serve chilled for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use high-quality candy melts for a rich, smooth fudge texture that melts perfectly without burning.
  • Stir mixtures consistently during microwaving to prevent scorching and ensure even melting of ingredients.
  • Control the green apple flavoring intensity by adding gradually and tasting to achieve balanced sweetness and tartness.
  • Allow fudge to set completely in the refrigerator for clean, precise cutting and optimal flavor development.
