Ingredients:
3 cups white chocolate chips
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon apple flavoring or extract
Green food coloring
Black food coloring (optional, for a marbled effect)
Red candy melts (optional, for drizzling)
Edible glitter or sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Directions:
Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Melt the Chocolate: In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Add Flavors and Color: Remove from heat and stir in the apple flavoring. Add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed. For a marbled effect, swirl in a drop or two of black food coloring.
Pour and Decorate: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. If using, melt the red candy melts according to the package instructions and drizzle over the top of the fudge. Add edible glitter or sprinkles for extra Halloween flair.
Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
Serving Tips:
Presentation: For a spooky touch, serve the Poison Apple Fudge on a Halloween-themed platter or tray. Garnish with additional edible glitter or sprinkles just before serving to enhance its festive appearance.
Portioning: Cut the fudge into small squares or pieces to make it easy for guests to grab and enjoy. You can also use Halloween-themed cookie cutters to shape the fudge into fun designs.
Pairings: Poison Apple Fudge pairs well with a variety of Halloween treats and beverages. Consider serving it alongside caramel apples, Halloween cookies, or a hot cup of apple cider.
Serving Temperature: This fudge is best served chilled or at room temperature. If serving outdoors or in warm conditions, keep it chilled to prevent it from becoming too soft.
Storage Tips:
Storage Container: Store the fudge in an airtight container to keep it fresh. You can layer the pieces with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent sticking.
Refrigeration: Keep the Poison Apple Fudge in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks. The cool environment helps maintain its firmness and flavor.
Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the fudge. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in an airtight container or freezer bag. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Avoid Humidity: Keep the fudge in a cool, dry place. Humidity can affect its texture and cause it to become sticky.

FAQs:
Can I use white chocolate bars instead of chips?
Yes, you can use white chocolate bars instead of chips. Simply chop the bars into small pieces before melting. This option works well, but make sure to stir constantly to achieve a smooth texture. White chocolate chips are often preferred for their melting consistency.
Can I substitute apple extract with another flavoring?
Absolutely! If you prefer a different flavor, you can substitute apple extract with another extract, such as vanilla or almond. Just be sure to adjust the quantity based on the strength of the extract you choose. For a fruity twist, try using other fruit-flavored extracts like cherry or raspberry.
How do I achieve the marbled effect with black food coloring?
To create a marbled effect, add a drop or two of black food coloring to the fudge mixture after you’ve stirred in the green food coloring. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the black color through the green fudge gently. Be careful not to overmix; you want to see distinct swirls rather than a fully blended color.
How should I store leftover fudge?
Store leftover Poison Apple Fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. It will stay good for up to 2 weeks. If you need to store it for a longer period, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil and place it in a freezer bag or airtight container before freezing. Thaw in the refrigerator before enjoying.
