This was one of the very first recipes I ever did that really took off on Pinterest, so it’s a special one to me. But the photos have always been a bit of an eyesore, and I’ve been meaning to give these babies a facelift for well over 5 years! The fun thing about this fudge, of course, is that it looks like candy corn. But for all you candy corn haters out there, no need to fear– it doesn’t TASTE like candy corn at all. This fudge is made from my very favorite vanilla bean fudge. There are two ways to color it. First, you could use white melting candy and candy gel coloring. This is a great way to control the shade of the colors, for example, if you wanted to make them darker than what you see pictured. The second way to color the different layers of the candy corn look is simply to use colored candy melts in the recipe. This is the route I prefer, simply because it makes things easier. And because no matter how careful I am, I always get food coloring all over my kitchen. Which means I avoid it whenever at all possible. You’ll need 6 bags of colored melting candy (or white, if you’re brave and taking the food coloring route): two white bags, two orange bags, and two yellow bags, each 12 ounces each. You won’t end up using the full two bags (you only need 3 cups of each color, and 24 ounces is slightly over that), but the good news is that having an odd amount of colored candy melts in your stash is never a bad thing. There are all sorts of fun food projects you could melt them down and use them for! I have made this fudge enough times now, that I’ve narrowed down the process to using only one pot and one spoon in the making (with no dishwashing in between, hooray!). Yet another reason why I love this fudge so much. Working from the lightest color to the darkest, start by melting together 3 cups of the white candy with a can of sweetened condensed milk. Once melted and smooth, pour that into a parchment or foil lined 8×8 baking dish. And continue to do this with each color. Tip: chill each layer in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes after pouring it into the pan. This will help make sure that the newest layer you’re pouring in doesn’t sink to the bottom, but instead spreads out nicely on top of the layer under it (you can see where I didn’t let my yellow chill long enough and the orange sank into it). Once all of the layers has firmed up completely, you can cut it into strips and then triangles. The fudge is okay to be kept at room temperature if you prefer. It will soften a bit, but it can still be handled just fine. To keep it firmer, simply store in the fridge untill ready to serve! Tip: If you love candy corn and want to incorporate that flavor, Wilton’s has a bag of seasonal candy corn flavored candy melts! It’s white with yellow and orange specks, so you could feasibly use it in the white layer.

Too cute! I have an aversion to candy corn too but your fudge looks amazing. Off to pin it to pinterest now.
Your fudge looks perfect! I love candy corn themed treats. I’ve only made fudge once before. You have inspired me to give it a try this year.

My 5 year old daughter has a candy corn obsession, so we were very happy to find this recipe on Pinterest. We are making it right now, and can’t wait to try it later. Thanks for the cute and easy recipe.
I found these on Pinterest and had to share them on my websites Facebook page today. They just look so tasty! Thanks for the great idea!!
Anyone looking for the peppermint fudge in the jar recipe it’s here: https://staging.somethingswanky.com/i-love-peppermint-and-candy-cane/
I made these the other day and something must have gone horribly wrong because the fudge never got firm. It was very gummy and impossible to cut, plus it didn’t really taste that great. ( I used Nestle Toll House chips.)
