When I made the pumpkin fudge I shared with you a little bit ago, I also made this Halloween Layered Fudge. This fudge is so simple to make. If you can use a microwave and can stir then you can make this fudge. I got it from a Taste of Home Halloween magazine my mom had.
This recipe is also very festive. I was thinking about how you could change it according to different holidays. Just change the color and flavor of extract you use. I thought it would be great for Christmas if you used peppermint extract and either red or green food coloring. For Easter you could use almond extract and pink food coloring. There are so many variation you could do.
The recipe also said to use paste food coloring. I didn’t have any in the house, so I used gel food coloring. I think I could have gotten a much brighter orange had I of used paste. Also, I would recommend getting the paste. Mine turned out more of a peachy orange than a bright pumpkin orange. This fudge was my husband’s favorite. He said it tasted just like an orange stick.
Here is what you need to make the
Halloween Layered Fudge
- BUTTER
- SEMISWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS
- SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
- WHITE CANDY COATING (ALSO KNOWN AS ALMOND BARK)
- ORANGE EXTRACT
- ORANGE PASTE FOOD COLORING

Love the look of these! Might have to try them. do you think the candy melts that you use for candy molds would work rather than the bark? I was just wondering b/c I already have some orange ones of those.
