Description
A festive and visually striking fudge inspired by the iconic character Sally from Tim Burton’s ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’, featuring a marbled patchwork of vibrant colors.
Ingredients
- 3-3 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or 2 tablespoons unsalted butter plus 3 tablespoons Marshmallow Fluff)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (or 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste/extract + 1/2 tsp peppermint extract)
- Black, yellow, pink, and teal gel food coloring
- 8×8 inch square pan
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides for easy removal. (Optional: arrange two pieces in a plus sign shape for better coverage and use binder clips to secure overhang).
- In a medium pot over low to medium heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter (and Marshmallow Fluff if using).
- Stir the mixture continuously until it is completely melted and smooth (about 5 minutes).
- Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract (and peppermint extract if using).
- Divide the fudge mixture evenly among 4 small bowls (approximately 1 cup per bowl).
- Add a few drops of black gel food coloring to one bowl, and a few drops of pink, yellow, and teal to the remaining three bowls (one color per bowl). Mix each bowl until you reach the desired vibrant color. Work quickly so the fudge doesn’t set too much.
- Drop alternate spoonfuls of each colored fudge randomly into the prepared square pan.
- Using a toothpick or a small paring knife, gently swirl the colors together to create a marbled, patchwork effect, resembling Sally’s dress.
- Allow the fudge to harden overnight at room temperature, or refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
- Once firm, use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Cut into 2-inch squares.
Notes
- Using gel food coloring provides the most vibrant colors for the fudge.
- For a stronger peppermint flavor, consider using the peppermint extract option.
- Ensure the fudge is completely set before cutting for clean slices.
