Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 24 oz white almond bark
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon cotton candy flavoring
Coloring
- Light blue food coloring gel, a few drops
- Light pink food coloring gel, a few drops
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the fudge once it has set.
- Melt the Almond Bark: Place the white almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each to ensure it melts smoothly without burning.
- Add Condensed Milk and Flavoring: Stir the sweetened condensed milk and cotton candy flavoring into the melted almond bark until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Divide and Color: Evenly split the fudge mixture into two separate bowls. Add a few drops of blue food coloring to one bowl and pink food coloring to the other, mixing each until the color is uniform.
- Layer the Fudge: Alternate spoonfuls of the colored fudge mixtures into the prepared pan, creating layers of pink and blue.
- Swirl the Colors: Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the pink and blue fudge layers together, giving it a beautiful marbled cotton candy effect.
- Refrigerate: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the fudge to fully set and harden.
- Serve: Once firm, lift the fudge out using the foil or parchment paper and cut into 1 to 1.5-inch squares. Enjoy your colorful cotton candy fudge!
Notes
- Be careful not to overheat the almond bark in the microwave to prevent burning and seizing.
- Adjust food coloring amounts to achieve your desired shade; gel colorings are more concentrated than liquid.
- For best results, use high-quality cotton candy flavoring for an authentic taste.
- Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate to keep it longer.
