Halloween Lunar Eclipse Fudge
A rich, velvety dark chocolate fudge with swirls of red and gray, finished with a silvery shimmer that captures the beauty of a Halloween night sky. Perfectly sweet, slightly mysterious, and wonderfully festive for the spooky season.
- 3 cups dark chocolate chips or black cocoa chips for extra darkness
- 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- Red and gray or black gel food coloring
- Edible silver glitter or luster dust
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting later. In a saucepan over low heat, melt dark chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter until smooth. Stir in vanilla and pour into the pan, smoothing the top.
Melt white chocolate chips in another saucepan, then divide into two bowls. Tint one red and the other gray or black. Drizzle both colors over the dark base, then gently swirl with a knife or skewer to create a marbled “lunar eclipse” effect—don’t overmix.
Dust lightly with edible silver glitter or luster dust for a night-sky shimmer. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm, then lift from the pan and cut into squares. Serve slightly chilled for the creamiest texture.
