This Halloween Dessert is a vibrant and creamy layered fudge combining luscious cream cheese frosting with melted black and red candy melts. Easy to prepare and perfect for festive parties, it sets in the fridge to create colorful, eye-catching squares that delight both kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale

Frosting

  • 16 oz cream cheese frosting

Candy Melts

  • 1 cup black candy melts
  • 1 cup red candy melts

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Lightly grease an 8” x 8” cake pan and line it with parchment paper in a cross (+) shape to make lifting out the fudge easier later.
  2. Melt Black Candy: Place the black candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl ready to be melted.
  3. Melt Red Candy: Place the red candy melts in a separate microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Microwave Candy: Microwave each bowl of candy melts on high for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds to ensure smooth melting without burning.
  5. Warm Frosting: Microwave the cream cheese frosting for 45 seconds without stopping to soften it for mixing.
  6. Mix Ingredients: Pour half of the warmed cream cheese frosting into each bowl of melted candy melts and stir vigorously until fully combined and smooth.
  7. Create Layers: Alternate pouring the black and red candy mixture into the prepared pan, layering the colors until all mixture is used.
  8. Set Fudge: Tap the pan gently on the counter to even out the layers and refrigerate for 4 hours or until firmly set.
  9. Cut And Serve: Lift the fudge out by the parchment paper ends, place on a cutting board, and cut into 25 or 36 squares according to desired size.
  10. Store: Serve immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep fresh.
