Ingredients

Scale

3 cups white chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Red gel food coloring
Black gel food coloring
Edible gold or silver stars or glitter (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Divide the mixture into two bowls. Tint one portion with red gel food coloring until deep red. Tint the other portion with black gel food coloring until jet black.
Drop spoonfuls of the red and black fudge mixture randomly into the prepared pan to create a marbled effect.
Use a knife or skewer to swirl the colors together slightly for a blood moon pattern. Be careful not to overmix.
If using edible glitter or stars, sprinkle them over the top while the fudge is still warm.
Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours or until firm to the touch.
Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and cut into small squares to serve.

Notes

Coloring tips: Always use gel-based food coloring for best results. Liquid food dye can make the mixture too runny.
Swirling method: Swirl just enough to blend the edges. Overmixing will create a grayish tone.
Decoration: Edible glitter, candy eyes, and star sprinkles add a magical finishing touch.
Flavor boost: Add a touch of black cocoa powder or cream cheese to enhance richness.
Texture variation: Fold in mini marshmallows, cookie crumbs, or jam for added texture and flavor.
Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
