This vanilla-flavored fudge mimics the fall colors of candy corn and makes for a great Halloween party treat! It's easy to assemble, but does require several chilling periods, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to make this recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 16 ounces vanilla frosting
- 4 drops yellow food coloring (or more as needed)
- 4 drops orange food coloring (or more as needed)
- 16 pieces candy corn
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
​The Spruce Eats / Julia Hartbeck -
Prepare an 8x8-inch pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
​The Spruce Eats / Julia Hartbeck -
Place 4 ounces (about 2/3 cup) of white chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
​The Spruce Eats / Julia Hartbeck -
Stir until the chocolate is a smooth paste. Once the chocolate is smooth, add approximately 1/3 of the frosting and a few drops of yellow food coloring. Stir to combine and adjust the coloring amount until you get a yellow you're happy with.

Pour the yellow fudge into the prepared pan and refrigerate until mostly set, about 30 minutes. The fudge does not have to be rock-hard but should be set enough so that it doesn’t move when the pan is tilted.
​The Spruce Eats / Julia Hartbeck -
Repeat steps 2 and 3 using the orange food coloring. If you don’t have orange coloring, use yellow and red color in a 2:1 ratio.
​The Spruce Eats / Julia Hartbeck -
Pour the orange-colored fudge over the yellow fudge, smooth it in an even layer, and return to the refrigerator to allow the new layer to set.
​The Spruce Eats / Julia Hartbeck -
Repeat steps 2 and 3 once more, this time omitting any food coloring so that the top layer is white. Pour the white fudge over the orange layer and return to the refrigerator once more.
​The Spruce Eats / Julia Hartbeck -
After it has set for about 10 minutes, lightly score it into 1-inch squares, and press a candy corn into the center of each square. Return the fudge to the refrigerator and allow it to set fully, about 2 hours.
​The Spruce Eats / Julia Hartbeck -
To serve, cut the fudge into 1-inch squares.

Tips
- When cutting the fudge, be sure to use a large knife with a smooth blade and wipe the blade frequently to ensure that the sides of the fudge squares do not get smeared with other colors.
- Store in an airtight refrigerated container, this fudge will last for up to a week.
