Ingredients You Will Need
- 18 ounces white chocolate chips - The creamy base
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk - Adds richness and sweetness
- 1 teaspoon orange extract - Gives it that citrusy zing
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - Adds depth and balances the orange
-
Orange gel food coloring (optional) - For that vibrant and fun hue
PRO TIP: Liquid food coloring may make your fudge too runny... gel/paste is the way to go! - Halloween sprinkles or candy (optional) - Because spooky sparkle is always in style
Tools

- Baking Pan: This recipe takes an 8 x 8 baking pan... it's an ideal size for desserts like this one!
- Spoon or Spurtle: Mix and spread the mixture with a spoon or spurtle. I love my Silicone Spurtles from Mad Hungry. They are perfect for stirring or scraping pots or pans without scratching them.
- Aluminum Foil: Cleanup is a breeze when you line your pan with foil
- Non-Stick Cooking Spray: Stop your fudge from possibly sticking with a light spray of Pam.
Topping Ideas
Try one (or a few!) of these easy toppings:
- Candy eyeballs (instant "Halloween character" look)
- Halloween-themed sprinkles (ghosts, bats, pumpkins)
- Black + orange Halloween sprinkles (classic nightmare-before-Christmas energy)
- Crushed Oreos or candy corn
- White chocolate drizzle over orange (simple but delicious)
- Edible glitter (because we could all use some glitter)
- Assorted mini Halloween candy pieces embedded on top

Variations
Here are some easy ways to switch this up:
- Chocolate Swirl: Add a drizzle of melted milk or dark chocolate before chilling.
- Pumpkin Spice Fudge: Swap orange extract for pumpkin spice and add a dash of cinnamon.
- A Little Nutty: Stir in chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
- Layered: Do half orange, half purple (use purple gel coloring) for spooky layered fudge
How to Serve
Once chilled and set, slice it into squares (great for party platters!).
- On a black or white tray for maximum color pop
- Wrap individually in wax paper for party favors.
- Pair with hot cider or cocoa for ultimate fall coziness.
- As part of a Halloween dessert board with cookies + candy

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! I personally think it tastes even better the next day!
Can I use candy melts instead of white chocolate chips?
Yes, but please note that candy melts will be slightly sweeter and set a bit firmer than the morsels/chips.
Does it have to be orange?
Nope! You can tint the fudge purple, green, or leave it naturally creamy white - it's totally up to you! Just be sure to use gel/paste food coloring instead of the liquid drops to prevent the fudge from getting too runny.
Is orange extract required?
Not technically - but it gives it that yummy creamsicle-style flavor. You can skip it or swap for vanilla only or go a completely different route such as lemon or lime.
Do I need a candy thermometer?
Nope - this is truly an easy recipe. Just melt in the microwave, stir and chill!
