Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup black candy melts
- 1 cup red candy melts
Binding/Creamy Base:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese frosting
Instructions
- Prepare a square 8×8 inch baking pan by lightly coating with grease and creating a parchment paper cross liner for easy removal.
- Separate two microwave-safe bowls for black and red candy melts, ensuring each bowl contains only one color.
- Microwave black candy melts at high power for 2 minutes, pausing every 30 seconds to stir and prevent scorching, until completely smooth and liquid.
- Repeat identical melting process with red candy melts in the second bowl, stirring consistently to maintain even heat distribution.
- Heat cream cheese frosting in microwave for 45 seconds until slightly warm and pliable.
- Divide warmed frosting equally between black and red melted candy, mixing thoroughly until colors are uniform and glossy.
- Pour alternating colors into prepared pan, creating layered swirling patterns by gently tilting pan and allowing colors to intermingle.
- Eliminate air bubbles by tapping pan gently against countertop, ensuring smooth surface.
- Refrigerate fudge for 4 hours or until completely firm and set, allowing colors to solidify.
- Remove fudge from pan using parchment paper edges, transfer to cutting board and slice into precise squares.
- Serve chilled and store remaining pieces in sealed container within refrigerator for maximum freshness.
Notes
- Use high-quality candy melts for vibrant, smooth colors that create a dramatic vampire-inspired fudge appearance.
- Ensure strict temperature control during melting to prevent candy from burning or seizing, which can ruin texture and taste.
- Create clean, sharp layers by pouring candy colors slowly and gently, allowing each layer to settle before adding the next.
- Experiment with different frosting flavors like vanilla or chocolate to customize the fudge’s taste profile while maintaining the spooky aesthetic.
