Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (18 oz/510g) high-quality dark chocolate chips or chunks
- 1 can (14 oz/396g) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons (1 oz/28g) unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup (3 oz/85g) white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk (for swirl)
- Blue and black gel food coloring
- 2 tablespoons silver or pearl edible sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons star-shaped sprinkles
- Optional: edible silver or gold luster dust
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine dark chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and salt. Heat over low flame, stirring constantly until completely melted and smooth (5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon condensed milk. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until just melted.
- Add blue gel food color and a tiny drop of black to create a deep midnight blue color.
- Pour chocolate fudge base into prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of the midnight blue mixture randomly across the surface while still warm.
- Using a toothpick or skewer, gently swirl the blue mixture through the chocolate base to create a cosmic night sky pattern.
- Immediately sprinkle with silver/pearl sprinkles and star-shaped sprinkles.
- For luster dust (if using), wait 10 minutes then lightly dust over the top.
- Gently tap the pan on the counter to settle sprinkles into the fudge.
- Allow to set at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Once set, lift fudge out using parchment paper. Cut into 1-inch squares or use Halloween cookie cutters for festive shapes.
