Red Velvet Swirl Fudge

Nothing beats an easy to make fudge recipe during the holidays, especially one that looks so impressive. This might look hard but it's incredibly easy, quick and absolutely delicious!

Course Dessert

Cuisine Candy

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes minutes

Total Time 15 minutes minutes

Servings 12

Author Kim Beaulieu

Ingredients

1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips
1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
Red gel food colouring start with 1 dab then add from there to adjust colour
1 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Line an 8 inch pan with foil or parchment paper, set aside.
Grab two medium size bowls.
Place milk chocolate chips into one bowl. Add red gel food colouring and stir until combined. Start with one little dab to start. You can always adjust the colour later. Always best to start with a bit and add more. Once you add too much you can't go back. Set aside.
Pour white chocolate chips into the other bowl. Set bowl aside.
In a small saucepan heat the sweetened condensed milk over medium-low heat. You want it to bubble gently across the top of the milk, and heat through without browning or sticking. This takes a few minutes. Don't walk away from it, stir it occasionally and keep a close eye on it. It can go from warming gently to burning pretty quickly.
Add the salt and vanilla. Stir. Take off heat. Pour half the milk over the milk chocolate chips, and half over the white chocolate chips.
Use a different spoon to stir each one quickly until the chocolate chips melt and the mixture is smooth and thick.
Drop random spoonfuls here and there in the pan. Just drop them all over so they look like patchwork. Keep adding spoonfuls randomly until all the mixture is in the pan.
Take a knife and gently pull it back and forth slowly to create patterns in the fudge. There's no right or wrong way to do it. I drag mine in lines one way, then turn the pan and run them the other way.
Place the pan in the fridge for about 2 to 3 hours, or overnight. You can score it before it completely hardens if you like.
Once fudge is chilled cut into squares.
Serve with a big old red velvet loving smile!

I could sit and stare at the photos of this fudge all day long. And that would be much better for my waistline than getting up, going to the pantry and making myself a batch to eat right now. But it wouldn't be as much fun and I'll all about the fun:)

My daughter just made this fudge following the directions and we realized the way it's written that you would end up with a milk chocolate and pink swirled fudge. Generally with a red velvet recipe you add the red to the chocolate. I have a feeling the recipe should have stated to add the red to the milk chocolate chips and leave the white chips white. They both taste the same but we were expecting the red and white fudge like the picture.

  Hi Becky. Thanks for reaching out. You are completely correct. There was an error in the recipe. I apologize for any inconvenience. I had someone email about them so I've corrected the recipe. I really appreciate when people like you let me know if I have errors. That way I can fix issues right away. The downside to blogging solo is I have no one to proofread for me so occasionally I make mistakes. Thanks for the heads up and for being so nice about it. Not everyone is so kind. It's much appreciated.

Just made these and our red Fudge seems to have separated, it looks all oily and wouldn't swirl properly. Any ideas why, I'm wondering whether it was the food colouring but it shouldn't be?

  Hi Lauren. Sorry, I just saw this. I took a bunch of time off over the holidays because my daughter was home on military leave for a month.
  It could have been the food colouring. I also noticed when I made this is a super hot kitchen once that it would not set up as nicely. I'll make a fresh batch next week and see if there's an issue I should be aware of. I know this one is super popular around Valentine's Day too so I'll do a test to see if there's something written up incorrectly. Thanks for letting me know and I'll definitely share my results. I am so sorry you had trouble with this. I know how frustrating it can be when recipes don't turn out properly.

Do these need to be stored in the fridge or at room temp?

  Sorry, just saw this. Generally speaking fudge can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week. You can also store it in the fridge, which will last up to 2 weeks easily.
