Scale
Fudge Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp cotton candy flavoring
- Gel-based food coloring (pink and blue), as desired
- Pink sea salt (optional, to sprinkle)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients on your counter for easy access to streamline the preparation process.
- Melt White Chocolate: Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each until completely smooth and melted to avoid burning.
- Combine with Condensed Milk: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is silky, smooth, and fully integrated.
- Add Flavor and Color: Mix in cotton candy flavoring along with your choice of pink and blue gel food coloring, stirring until the color and flavor are evenly distributed throughout the fudge base.
- Pour and Smooth: Transfer the mixture into a lined 8×8-inch baking pan and gently smooth the surface with a spatula for an even finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firmly set. Once set, cut into approximately 16 squares and enjoy this fun, colorful treat.
Notes
- Use gel-based food coloring to achieve vibrant colors without altering the fudge’s consistency.
- Optional: Sprinkle pink sea salt on top before chilling to add a subtle salty contrast enhancing the sweetness.
- Ensure the chocolate is melted gently to avoid burning and graininess.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For a firmer fudge, chill longer or a thinner layer can be made for quicker setting.
