This Vampire Fudge is a spooky, no-fail Halloween treat made with just three ingredients and no candy thermometer. Swirled with bold red and black colors, it’s rich, creamy, and perfect for festive parties or fun kitchen activities with kids.

Ingredients

1 (16 oz) tub cream cheese frosting

2 cups black candy melts

2 cups red candy melts

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Lightly grease an 8″x8″ square pan and line it with parchment paper in a criss-cross pattern for easy removal.
Place black candy melts in one microwave-safe bowl and red candy melts in another.
Microwave each bowl separately for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
Microwave the cream cheese frosting (with lid and foil removed) for 45 seconds until warm.
Divide the frosting evenly between the two bowls of melted candy and stir each mixture until fully blended.
Dollop the red and black mixtures alternately into the prepared pan in a random pattern.
Use a knife to swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect.
Refrigerate the fudge for about 2 hours or until firm.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares.

Notes

Use oil-based food coloring if enhancing the black color—never water-based dyes.

Store fudge in the refrigerator; it’s too soft for room temperature storage.

Freeze extra pieces for longer storage, wrapped tightly.

Try other Halloween colors like orange and purple for different variations.
