Tips from Well-Known Chefs
- Don't rush the melting process for white baking chips. Use short microwave bursts and stir often to make sure they melt evenly without burning.
Candy Corn Fudge works so well for Halloween because it takes the sweet, familiar taste of classic fudge and gives it the iconic candy corn look. Those bright yellow and orange colors really scream Halloween and make any party table more festive. It's also super quick to make, so you can throw it together while juggling all your other Halloween party prep.
FAQsCan I use a different type of chocolate instead of white baking chips?
You can swap in milk or dark chocolate chips if you want, but your fudge will turn out darker and taste different.
How can I prevent the fudge from sticking to the pan?
Just don't skip lining your pan with foil and giving it a good spray with cooking spray. That'll make your fudge come out clean every time.
