My kids and I love to cook and make treats together. Today, we decided to make watermelon fudge.
I’m totally a sucker for fudge…when I worked in the banking industry, every year at Christmastime, this sweet elderly lady would bring us her chocolate fudge. It was something I looked forward to every year, but thought fudge was super hard to make…it’s not!
This watermelon fudge may LOOK LIKE a watermelon, but it’s actually chocolate! Not only are these super cute, but they are delicious and will make you the hit of any get-together!
Watermelon Fudge
Ingredients:
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 Cups Wilton pink melting candy
- 1 1/2 Cups Wilton green melting candy
- 1 Cup white chocolate chips or Wilton white melting candy
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Black fondant
- Aluminum foil (I get my household products free– including aluminum foil, from Grove Collaborative; here’s how you can too)
- Muffin tin
Directions:
Step 1: Line a jumbo muffin pan with a non-stick aluminum foil and mold about 35-40 tiny pieces of black fondant into seed shapes
Step 2: In a heavy bottom pot, add your green melting candy, 1/2 cup of your sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon of your vanilla extract
Step 3: Heat on medium heat, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes until everything is melted together
Step 4: Carefully pour your melted green chocolate into your molds, dividing evenly between the 6 molds and set in the freezer for about 30 minutes
Step 5: After 30 minutes, in your heavy bottomed pot, add your white chocolate, 1/4 cup of your sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Step 6: Heat on medium heat, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes until everything is melted together
Step 7: Now evenly divide the melted white chocolate between the 6 molds and carefully pour onto the hardened green fudge, then set in the freezer for another 30 minutes
Step 8: After 30 minutes, in your heavy bottomed pot, add your pink melting candy, 1/2 cup of your sweetened condensed milk, and 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Step 9: Heat again on medium heat, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes until everything is melted together
Step 10: Now evenly divide the melted pink chocolate between the 6 molds and carefully pour onto the hardened white chocolate
Step 11: Add a few “seeds” (black fondant) to the top and set in the fridge for a few hours
Step 12: Carefully pull up on the aluminum foil to remove your mini watermelon fudge and peel the foil off, slice, and enjoy!
