Instructions

Prepare baking dish: Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of fudge later.
Melt white chocolate mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until completely smooth and combined. Stir in vanilla extract. Add a few drops of red food coloring and gently swirl with a toothpick to create the ‘blood’ effect without mixing it fully.
Melt dark chocolate mixture: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate chips with 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Layer white chocolate: Pour the white chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly to form the base layer.
Add dark chocolate layer: Pour the dark chocolate mixture on top of the white chocolate layer and gently spread it without mixing completely, maintaining distinct layers.
Create marbled effect: Use a toothpick or the back of a spoon to carefully swirl the two layers together, creating a marbled, spooky appearance reminiscent of vampire blood.
Chill to set: Refrigerate the fudge for about 2 hours or until it is fully set and firm to the touch.
Cut and serve: Lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper, cut it into 16–20 squares or rectangles, and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
Be careful not to fully mix the red food coloring; the swirl effect creates the spooky vampire blood look.
Chilling time is essential to get firm fudge that holds shape when cut.
This fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For a dairy-free option, substitute sweetened condensed coconut milk and vegan chocolate chips.
