Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 24 oz white almond bark
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- Cotton candy flavoring (about 1-2 tsp)
Food Coloring
- Light blue food coloring gel (a small amount)
- Light pink food coloring gel (a small amount)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper to prevent sticking and to allow easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Melt the Almond Bark: Place the white almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently between each interval, until the almond bark is completely melted and smooth.
- Add Condensed Milk and Flavoring: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and cotton candy flavoring into the melted almond bark until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Divide and Color: Evenly split the fudge mixture into two separate bowls. Add a small amount of blue food coloring gel to one bowl and pink food coloring gel to the other bowl, stirring each until the color is evenly distributed.
- Layer the Fudge: Alternately scoop spoonfuls of the blue and pink fudge mixtures into the prepared pan, building up layers of each color.
- Swirl the Colors: Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the blue and pink fudge together, creating a marbled, cotton candy-inspired visual effect throughout the fudge.
- Refrigerate: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil or parchment paper lining, cut into squares, and enjoy this sweet and colorful treat!
Notes
- For easier removal, allow the fudge to soften slightly at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
- Adjust the amount of cotton candy flavoring according to your taste preference, starting with 1 teaspoon and increasing if desired.
- Use gel food coloring to avoid adding excessive liquid which could affect the fudge texture.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- You can experiment with other pastel colors for a personalized twist.
