Recipe Thursday 03/27/25 Celebrate St. Patrick's Day Shamrock Fudge

Ingredients:

• For the Fudge

• 3 cups (525g) white chocolate chips

• 1 can (14 oz/396g) sweetened condensed milk

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Green gel food coloring

• 1 cup (150g) mini marshmallows (optional for added texture)

• ¼ cup (40g) green sprinkles or sanding sugar for topping

• Optional Decorations

• Shamrock-shaped candies

• Edible glitter

Instructions:

Step 1:

Prepare the Pan

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2:

Melt the Fudge Base

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3:

Add the Green Color

Divide the melted mixture into two bowls. Tint one bowl with green gel food coloring, mixing until the desired shade is achieved. Leave the other bowl white. If using mini marshmallows, gently fold them into the green mixture.

Step 4:

Create the Swirl Effect. Pour the white mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Drop spoonful's of the green fudge mixture over the white layer. Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the two colors together to create a marbled effect.

Step 5:

Decorate the Fudge Immediately sprinkle the top with green sprinkles, sanding sugar, or shamrock candies.

Step 6:

Chill and Set.

Refrigerate the fudge for 2-3 hours, or until firm. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into small squares or shamrock-shaped pieces using a cookie cutter.

Tips for Success

Use gel food coloring to avoid altering the consistency of the fudge.

Warm your knife slightly to make clean cuts through the chilled fudge.

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
