Black Cat Fudge
Ingredients:
– 3 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
– 1 cup of white chocolate chips
– Black food coloring gel
– Candy eyes
– Black licorice strings
Instructions:
1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Set aside.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
3. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
4. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until smooth. Add a few drops of black food coloring gel to achieve a deep black color, stirring well.
5. Pour the black chocolate mixture over the fudge in the pan, spreading it out to cover the top layer evenly.
6. While the black chocolate is still soft, gently press candy eyes into the fudge to create the cat’s eyes. Use a knife to cut the licorice strings into small pieces and place them on the fudge to form whiskers and a mouth.
7. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until set.
8. Once the fudge is firm, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Cut into small squares and serve.
