Fudge Base
- 3 cups dark chocolate chips (or black cocoa chips)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- black gel food coloring (optional) (a few drops, for deeper color)
Swirl & Finish
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (melted for swirling)
- silver edible glitter or luster dust (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides to create a sling for easy removal.
- Melt the Dark Chocolate Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine dark chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until smooth and glossy. (Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between, or use a double boiler to prevent scorching.)
- Flavor & Darken: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. For a jet-black ‘midnight’ look, add a few drops of black gel food coloring and mix until uniform.
- Pour & Swirl: Spread the dark chocolate mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Melt white chocolate chips until smooth, drizzle over the surface, then gently swirl with a skewer or knife to create a marbled ‘moon crater’ effect. Avoid overmixing.
- Add the Starlight: While still warm, sprinkle silver edible glitter or luster dust generously over the top for a starry-night finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until firm.
- Slice & Serve: Lift out using the parchment sling and cut into 36 small squares. Tip: For clean cuts, warm the knife under hot water and wipe dry between slices.
Notes
Storage: Keep fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 2 months. Variations: Add a pinch of sea salt, a splash of peppermint extract, or fold in crushed cookies for texture. For a darker color without dye, use black cocoa chips when available.
