Halloween Vampire Fudge

Instructions:

1. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Spread evenly into the prepared pan to form the bottom layer. Chill while preparing the top layer.
3. In another bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with condensed milk in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
4. Divide the mixture evenly into two bowls. Tint one with red gel food coloring and the other with black gel food coloring.
5. Drop spoonfuls of the red and black fudge mixtures over the chilled chocolate base. Use a knife or skewer to swirl them together into a marbled design.
6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
7. Lift the fudge out of the pan, cut into squares, and serve.

Variations:

• Bloody effect: Drizzle raspberry or strawberry sauce over the squares before serving.
• Extra crunch: Stir in crushed cookies or candy pieces into the red and black layers.
• Flavor boost: Add a drop of peppermint or almond extract to the white chocolate mixture before coloring.
• Darker base: Use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a deeper, more gothic flavor.

Tips:

• Use gel food coloring, not liquid, for bold and vibrant shades without thinning the fudge.
• For clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water, wipe dry, and cut straight down.
• Store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
• Swirl gently—too much mixing will blend the colors instead of marbling them.

Rich, spooky, and strikingly beautiful, this Halloween Vampire Fudge is a festive treat that’s guaranteed to wow your guests and satisfy their sweet tooth.
