  • Set the fudge aside to cool to room temperature, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the fudge from the pan and slice into desired size.

Notes

  • Melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave. You can also use a double boiler to melt the chocolate.
  • To properly set, the fudge needs to reach the soft ball stage, which is 235-240°F. You can check this with an instant-read thermometer.
  • Work quickly to transfer the completed fudge to a prepared baking dish. This will help set the fudge and keep it smooth.
  • The fun thing about this fudge recipe is that you can easily customize it. If you don't like candy corn, feel free to add a different candy on top of the fudge. Mini Reese's would work well on this fudge.
  • Feel free to use any color sprinkles that you have on hand.
  • You want to make sure that you place the finished fudge in the fridge to harden. This will ensure that your fudge stays smooth and creamy, even after cutting it.
  • I like to score the top before chilling for easier cuts.
  • Use a warm knife to cleanly slice through the set fudge.
Stovetop Instructions: Place the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan set over low. Stir constantly until the chocolate chips have melted, then stir in the vanilla and pour into the prepared dish.
Storage: Store Halloween fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
