Description
Creepy, creamy, and delightfully gory — this Zombie Vein White Chocolate Fudge is a Halloween showstopper! Smooth vanilla fudge laced with eerie raspberry ‘veins’ and spooky candy decorations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup raspberry jam or jelly, strained
- ½ tsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 drop red gel food coloring
- Optional: 1 tiny drop blue or black gel food coloring for depth
- Candy eyeballs (optional)
- Green or gray gel icing (optional)
- Red sanding sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the “Vein” Sauce: Combine raspberry jam, water, and cornstarch in a small pan. Simmer on low until glossy and slightly thickened. Add red gel coloring, plus a touch of blue or black for a realistic tone. Let cool slightly. Tip: Strain jam before cooking for smoother, seed-free veins.
- Make the Fudge Base: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper. Melt white chocolate, condensed milk, and butter in the microwave (30-second bursts) or on the stovetop until smooth. Stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt.
- Assemble the Zombie Vein Layers: Pour half of the fudge into the prepared pan. Drizzle a few thin lines of the “vein” syrup. Add remaining fudge, then swirl gently with a knife to create eerie vein trails — don’t overmix. Add an extra drizzle of syrup on top for effect.
- Chill and Slice: Refrigerate for about 3 hours or until firm. Slice into squares using a warm knife. Each piece will reveal eerie red veins — spooky and delicious!
- Decorate (Optional): Top with candy eyeballs, green icing, or red sanding sugar for extra undead flair.
Notes
Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week. Perfect for Halloween parties, dessert tables, or spooky-themed gifts. For a darker version, swirl in black or gray melted chocolate with the red ‘veins.’
