Ingredients and Substitutions
You only need 3 ingredients to make this Halloween fudge recipe, plus your decorations of choice. But here are some notes on those ingredients and ideas for any substitutions:
- White Chocolate: Not all white chocolate is gluten free (a lot have a may contain warning) so always make sure you’re using a safe chocolate for this. You could use milk chocolate but this would affect the colourings – it wouldn’t be so vibrant!
- Condensed Milk: This recipe relies on a can of sweetened condensed milk. I haven’t tried this with vegan chocolate and vegan condensed milk, but imagine you would be able to swap out the two to make this recipe dairy free.
- Food Colouring: I always recommend a gel food colouring. Sugarflair is my go-to brand as they produce amazing vibrant colours and are gluten free.
- Decorations: I usually use these Cake Decor Sprinkles which I’ve so far found in Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons. The Cake Decor Edible Eyes are also gluten free and the ones I use every year. Always double check as some brands contain wheat starch. You could also use gluten free Halloween sweets (Coeliac UK publishes a handy list every year) or chocolate chips for decoration.

-
Place a large pan on a low heat. Break the white chocolate into chunks and add to the pan along with the condensed milk.
-
Keep the pan on the low heat, stirring regularly, until the chocolate has melted and there are no lumps. Take it straight off the heat – you don’t want to overcook or boil the mix.
-
Divide the mixture evenly between two bowls and add the food colouring – I added green to one and purple to the other. Mix well until the colouring is fully combined.
-
Pour the mixture at random into a lined, 20cm square tin and gently swirl with a knife – not too much otherwise you’ll mix the colours together!
-
Scatter the Halloween sprinkles and edible eyes over the top of the fudge, then place in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours (ideally overnight) to set.
-
Once the fudge is solid and chilled through, cut into squares – perfect for giving out as gifts or for trick or treaters!
- Serving: If you prefer, you can pour the fudge into a lined loaf tin and cut it into slices instead. It’s give you more of a marble effect, but less sprinkles per slice!
