Patriotic Fudge Instructions (Printable Recipe Below)
Prep the Pan: Line your 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on two sides. This will make it easier to lift the fudge out later.
Melt the Chocolate: Set up your double boiler. If you don't have one, simply place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan with a couple inches of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water). Add the white chocolate chips to the bowl and stir gently until completely melted and smooth.
Combine with Milk: Remove the melted white mixture from the heat. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.
Add Color: Drop 2 drops of red food coloring and 2 drops of blue food coloring into the mixture. Gently swirl with a spatula, creating a marbled effect of red, white, and blue. Don't overmix!
Pour and Decorate: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Immediately sprinkle with star sprinkles, gently pressing them into the July fudge recipe to ensure they stick.
Chill and Cut: Place the square pan in the freezer for 30 minutes, or until the fudge is firm. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 36 squares using a sharp knife.
Red White and Blue Fudge
If you are looking for a super simple, no bake dessert to take to a patriotic party - this is the one! Amazingly good two ingredient fudge that takes minutes to make!
Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 - 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- Red and blue food coloring
- 1-2 tbsp Star sprinkles
Instructions
- Line your pan with parchment paper for ease of taking out and cutting the finished fudge.
- Melt the chocolate using the double boiler method. I find this method to be best for white chocolate, so that it doesn’t harden.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the melted chocolate.
- Add 2 each drops of red and blue food coloring, then pour the fudge mixture into the pan. It will swirl as you’re pouring, and get all 3 colors in there beautifully.
- Top with sprinkles, and gently press them into the fudge.
- Freeze for 30 minutes, remove from freezer, then lift up on the parchment paper and the fudge will come right out.
- Cut into 36 squares.
