Wicked Witch Fudge is a rich, creamy Halloween-themed dessert that combines smooth dark chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and a touch of green food coloring to create a spooky yet delicious treat. Perfect for festive parties, gifting, or a fun seasonal indulgence, this easily customizable fudge offers a luxuriously creamy texture and deep chocolate flavor with options for nuts, spices, or candy mix-ins.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups high-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Green food coloring, a few drops

Optional Mix-Ins

  • Crushed candy canes
  • Chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or your choice)
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Cinnamon, nutmeg, or cayenne pepper (for spice variations)
  • Peppermint extract (for minty version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, letting the excess hang over the sides to ensure easy removal of the fudge later and to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Stir gently until the mixture melts completely into a smooth, shiny consistency, making sure to keep the heat low to avoid burning.
  3. Add Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The mixture will thicken slightly as you stir.
  4. Add the Green Food Coloring: Mix in a few drops of green food coloring, stirring well to achieve an even spooky green color without any streaks.
  5. Pour and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the fudge is firm and easy to cut.
  6. Cut and Serve: Use the parchment paper edges to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into small squares or festive shapes with a sharp knife. Serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use good quality chocolate for best flavor and texture.
  • Keep heat low when melting chocolate to prevent seizing or burning.
  • Measure ingredients accurately for the perfect creamy yet firm consistency.
  • Stir thoroughly when adding food coloring to avoid uneven patches.
  • Chill the fudge long enough to set completely; rushing will affect texture.
  • Customize with optional mix-ins like nuts, spices, or candy for personalized flavors.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate and coconut milk.
