Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 24 oz white baking bark or white chocolate bark
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk

Flavoring and Coloring

  • 1 tsp cotton candy flavoring (adjust to taste)
  • Light blue food coloring gel (amount as needed)
  • Light pink food coloring gel (amount as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, ensuring the edges are covered to allow easy removal of the fudge after cooling.
  2. Melt the White Bark: Place the white baking bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently to ensure even melting and prevent burning, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Combine Milk and Flavor: Stir the sweetened condensed milk and cotton candy flavoring into the melted white bark until completely incorporated and smooth.
  4. Divide the Mixture: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into two separate bowls for coloring.
  5. Add Colors: Add a small amount of light blue food coloring gel to one bowl and light pink to the other, adjusting the quantity as needed to achieve vibrant, pastel shades.
  6. Layer Colors: Alternate spoonfuls of the blue and pink mixtures randomly into the prepared pan to create a patchwork of colors.
  7. Create Swirls: Using a toothpick or skewer, gently swirl the two colors together in the pan, creating a marbled or cotton candy-inspired effect without fully blending them.
  8. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for about 2 hours or until it becomes firm and set.
  9. Serve: Once hardened, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil or parchment paper edges, cut it into bite-sized pieces, and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use good quality white baking bark or white chocolate for best results.
  • The amount of cotton candy flavoring can be adjusted depending on how strong you want the flavor.
  • Food coloring gels provide vibrant colors without altering the fudge consistency.
  • Swirling the colors gently ensures a pretty marbled effect without mixing the colors into one solid color.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for up to two weeks.
