Vampire Fudge Spooky Halloween Dessert (Recipe for Printing)

Swirls of black and red make this fudge a striking Halloween favorite with bold flavor and easy prep.

# What You Need:

→ Fudge Base

01 - 1 cup black candy melts
02 - 1 cup red candy melts
03 - 16 ounces cream cheese frosting (1 container)
04 - Nonstick cooking spray
05 - Parchment paper
06 - Optional: 1 teaspoon warm milk, if needed for thinning

# How to Make It:

01 - Lightly coat an 8 x 8 inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Fit parchment paper inside so it overhangs both sides, forming a cross for easy removal.
02 - Place black candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted and smooth. Set aside.
03 - In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt red candy melts. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Avoid mixing colors.
04 - Microwave cream cheese frosting, uncovered, for 45 seconds until fluid. Stir thoroughly to achieve a pourable consistency.
05 - Divide the warmed frosting evenly between the two bowls. Quickly mix each color until mixtures are smooth and uniform. If mixture is too thick, incorporate 1 teaspoon of warm milk.
06 - Alternately pour large spoonfuls of the black and red mixtures into the prepared pan, creating a marbled appearance. Continue layering until all is used.
07 - Firmly tap the pan on the countertop to level the surface and remove air bubbles. Transfer to refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, until set and firm.
08 - Lift the fudge using the parchment overhang. Set on a cutting board and slice into 25 or 36 squares as desired. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For clean slices, let fudge stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting.
02 - Buy extra candy melts in case some overheat or seize during melting.
03 - Naturally gluten free when certified candy melts are used.
04 - Stays fresh refrigerated up to 5 days.
05 - For dramatic effect, alternate spoonfuls of each color to highlight swirls.
