This fudge isn’t just pretty — it’s foolproof. No candy thermometer, no tricky techniques, and no stress. Plus, the layered effect makes it look far more professional than it actually is. The bottom layer of semi-sweet chocolate gives a deep, rich base, while the orange-tinted white chocolate layer adds a playful seasonal pop. It’s sweet, silky, and slightly spooky — a true Halloween must-try.

🍫 Ingredients Needed

For the Bottom Layer

2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ can (7 oz / 200g) sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Top Layer

2 cups (340g) white chocolate chips
½ can (7 oz / 200g) sweetened condensed milk
A few drops orange gel food coloring (avoid liquid food dye — it can break the chocolate)

Optional Toppings:

Edible eyes, Halloween sprinkles, or mini candy pieces

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Your Pan:
Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang to help lift the fudge later.
Make the Chocolate Layer:
In a heatproof bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and half the condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Mix in vanilla extract. Pour into the pan and spread evenly.
Chill Slightly:
Place the pan in the fridge for 10–15 minutes while you prepare the top layer.
Make the Orange Layer:
Melt white chocolate chips with the remaining condensed milk using the same method. Once smooth, add orange gel food coloring and stir until evenly tinted.
Layer It Up:
Pour the orange layer gently over the chocolate base and smooth the top with a spatula.
Add Decorations:
Sprinkle edible eyes, gold dust, or Halloween confetti sprinkles while the fudge is still warm.
Chill Until Set:
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, then slice into small squares using a sharp knife.

🎃 A Slice of Sweet Spookiness

What I love most about this recipe is the contrast. You get deep chocolate richness in one bite, followed by creamy vanilla sweetness in the next. The orange color makes it festive, while the smooth texture feels luxurious. It’s the kind of treat that brings both kids and adults running to the dessert table.

🎨 Decoration Ideas

Add a black drizzle made from melted dark chocolate for a “haunted” look.
Swirl orange and white fudge together before setting for a marbled ghostly effect.
Place a candy spider or mini bone on each square for that extra Halloween flair.

🤭 Fun Fact

Did you know fudge was actually created by accident in the 1800s? A candy maker “fudged” a caramel recipe, and voilà — the name stuck forever! Talk about a delicious mistake.

🍫 My Thoughts

When I first tried this fudge, I couldn’t believe how effortless it was. I didn’t even need to use a thermometer, yet it turned out perfectly creamy and smooth. The color contrast made it look like a bakery treat, and the best part? Everyone thought I’d spent hours on it. It’s my go-to when I want something impressive without the stress.
