Halloween Midnight Moon Fudge

Instructions:

1. Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine dark chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If using, add a small drop of black gel food coloring for a deeper, midnight tone.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
5. Melt the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl using short intervals in the microwave (about 15 seconds at a time), stirring in between until fully melted.
6. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the surface of the fudge. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the two chocolates together, creating a marbled “moonlit sky” pattern.
7. Lightly dust the top with silver edible glitter or luster dust while the fudge is still warm.
8. Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
9. Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and cut into 36 even squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Variations:

• Mint Moon Fudge: Add ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract along with the vanilla for a cool twist.
• Galaxy Effect: Add streaks of purple and blue gel coloring to the white chocolate for a galactic marbled look.
• Nutty Midnight: Stir in chopped toasted pecans or walnuts before pouring into the pan for added texture.
• Vegan Option: Use dairy-free chocolate chips, coconut condensed milk, and plant-based butter for a fully vegan version.

Tips:

• Use a metal skewer or toothpick to create more delicate and intricate swirls in the white chocolate.
• Don’t overmix the marbling or the colors may blend too much and lose their definition.
• Let the fudge sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before cutting to prevent cracking.
• This fudge can be made up to a week in advance and stored in the fridge, making it perfect for party prep or gifting.

This Halloween Midnight Moon Fudge isn’t just a treat — it’s a spellbinding centerpiece worthy of your haunted festivities.
