Halloween Lunar Eclipse Fudge

Instructions:

1. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt dark chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
4. Melt the white chocolate chips separately, then divide into two bowls. Tint one portion red and the other gray (or black).
5. Drizzle both colors over the dark base. Use a knife or skewer to swirl gently, creating a marbled “lunar eclipse” effect.
6. Lightly dust the top with edible silver glitter or luster dust for a shimmering night-sky finish.
7. Chill for at least 2 hours or until firm. Cut into squares and serve.

Variations

• Blood moon version: Add a drop of raspberry or cherry extract to the red swirl for a subtle fruity note.
• Stardust crunch: Sprinkle crushed silver sugar pearls or white chocolate chips for texture and sparkle.
• Double eclipse: Add a thin layer of red fudge between two layers of dark chocolate for a more dramatic look.
• Galaxy glaze: Drizzle melted black candy melts with silver shimmer for a metallic surface shine.

Tips

• Use gel coloring for vibrant swirls without thinning the chocolate.
• Don’t over-swirl — gentle strokes will keep the colors distinct and dramatic.
• Allow the fudge to cool slightly before adding the shimmer dust so it adheres better.
• For clean, beautiful cuts, use a sharp knife warmed in hot water and wiped dry between slices.
