This fudge looks like a giant candy corn and tastes like sweet vanilla cream. White chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and a little butter melt together, then the mixture is split and colored yellow and orange for the layers. No thermometer, no boiling, just melt, pour and chill.
Why You’ll Love It

What You Need

How to Make Candy Corn Fudge
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on two sides.
- Melt the white chocolate chips, condensed milk and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Stir in the vanilla.

Serving and Storing
