Ingredients for Candy Corn Fudge

To make this irresistible Candy Corn Fudge, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 4 ½ cups white chocolate chips (1 ½ cups for each color layer)
• ¾ cup heavy whipping cream (¼ cup for each color)
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract (1 tsp in each color layer)
• 3 tablespoons honey (1 tbsp per layer)
• Yellow food coloring
• Orange food coloring

That’s it! Just six simple ingredients that are likely already in your pantry.

Tools You’ll Need

• 9×5 baking dish: for setting the fudge
• Parchment paper or foil: to line your baking dish and prevent sticking
• Small saucepan: to melt the white chocolate and create each layer
• Spatula: for spreading the fudge evenly into layers

How to Make Candy Corn Fudge

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish

Line a 9×5 baking dish with foil or parchment paper. This will make removing the fudge easy once it’s set.

Step 2: Make the Yellow Layer

In a small saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups of white chocolate chips, ¼ cup of heavy whipping cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Heat the mixture on medium-high, stirring constantly until the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Add yellow food coloring (about 8 drops) and stir until the color is evenly blended. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Chill the yellow layer in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Make the Orange Layer

Repeat the same steps as the yellow layer. This time, for the orange color, use 12 drops of yellow food coloring and 4 drops of red to create the perfect candy corn orange. Once smooth, spread this orange layer evenly over the chilled yellow layer. Chill again for 30 minutes.

Step 4: Make the White Layer

For the final layer, repeat the melting process without adding any food coloring. Spread the white layer evenly over the chilled orange layer. Chill the whole thing for at least 2 hours or until fully set.

Step 5: Cut and Serve

Once the fudge is completely set, remove it from the pan by lifting the parchment paper or foil. Slice it into small squares or cut into triangles for a candy corn-like appearance. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Candy Corn Fudge

• Use clear vanilla extract if you want the white layer to be bright white. Regular vanilla extract may tint the fudge slightly, making the white layer look more off-white or light beige.
• Work quickly when melting the chocolate chips so they don’t seize or burn. Stirring constantly will help the chocolate stay smooth and creamy.
• Chill between layers to ensure clean, distinct lines for your fudge. Each layer needs time to set before the next one is added to keep the colors from blending.

Storage Instructions

Candy Corn Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you prefer, you can also keep it in the fridge, but make sure to let the fudge come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?
White chocolate is essential for achieving the bright colors in this fudge, so I wouldn’t recommend substituting it with milk or dark chocolate. However, if you prefer a less sweet version, you could try using a lower-sugar white chocolate alternative.

Can I freeze Candy Corn Fudge?
Yes! You can freeze the fudge for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Just be sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight and bring it to room temperature before serving to avoid any changes in texture.

What if my fudge isn’t setting properly?
If the fudge seems too soft or isn’t setting after the recommended chill time, pop it back in the fridge for another hour. Make sure your measurements are precise when combining ingredients, especially the cream and chocolate, to ensure proper consistency.
