Halloween Midnight Moon Fudge (Spooky & Easy Recipe)

Recipe by Evelyn Marcella Rivera

A no-bake, jet-black chocolate fudge swirled with white chocolate and finished with silver starlight glitter—perfect for Halloween parties and midnight treats.


  • Total Time2 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield36 squares 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.)
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add the Starlight: While still warm, sprinkle silver edible glitter or luster dust generously over the top for a starry-night finish.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until firm.
  7. 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.
