Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 16 oz salted caramel candy melts
- 16 oz vibrant green candy melts
- 28 oz sweetened condensed milk (two 14-oz cans)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons green apple candy flavoring
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- Prepare the Caramel Layer:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine salted caramel candy melts and one can of sweetened condensed milk.
- Prepare the Green Apple Layer:
- In a second microwave-safe bowl, combine vibrant green candy melts with the other can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir in green apple candy flavoring until fully mixed.
- Melt the Mixtures:
- Microwave each bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until the mixtures are melted and smooth (approximately 2 minutes).
- Create the Swirl:
- Pour alternating layers of the caramel mixture and apple mixture into the prepared baking pan to create a swirl pattern. Use a spatula or knife to gently swirl the layers together for a marbled effect.
- Chill:
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or until the fudge is completely set.
- Slice and Serve:
- Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 32 pieces and serve.
Notes
- Do not substitute regular caramel: This recipe specifically requires caramel candy melts for the right consistency.
- Storage: Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Variations: Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for extra flavor contrast.
