Ingredients

  • 2 Cups White Chocolate Chips
  • 32 Ounces White Frosting 2 containers
  • ½ Teaspoon Blue Oil Based Food Dye
  • 1 Cup Red Candy Melts
  • Patriotic Sprinkles

Instructions

For The White Layer

  • Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Place half of the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals. Continue for 2-3 minutes, stirring in between each interval until the chocolate is creamy and smooth.
    2 Cups White Chocolate Chips
  • Remove the lid and foil from one of the frosting containers. Place it in the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute.
    32 Ounces White Frosting
  • Pour ⅔ of the melted frosting into the bowl of melted white chocolate chips and stir well until fully combined. Set aside.

For The Blue Layer

  • Place the other half of the white chocolate chips in a separate mixing bowl and repeat the melting process in the microwave.
    2 Cups White Chocolate Chips
  • Add the blue food coloring to the white chocolate mixture and stir until no more streaks of white appear. If you'd like a darker color, you can add a bit more dye, a little at a time until the desired color is reached.
    ½ Teaspoon Blue Oil Based Food Dye
  • Remove the lid and foil from the second can of frosting and microwave on high for one minute. Immediately add ⅔ of the frosting to the blue chocolate mixture and stir until fully combined. Set aside.

For The Red Layer

  • Place the red candy melts in another mixing bowl and melt them in the microwave, just as you did the chocolate chips.
    1 Cup Red Candy Melts
  • Once the mixture is creamy and smooth, add the remaining frosting from both containers and stir vigorously until combined.

Making The Fudge

  • Alternate pouring the three colors of fudge into the prepared pan. I like to do
  • this in three separate batches so the colors mix well and create a pretty, marbled effect.
  • Once all the colors have been added to the pan, tap the pan on the counter to ensure that it’s even.
  • Cover the top of the fudge with the sprinkles and then set it aside for about 8 hours or until hardened. Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares and serve.

Notes

  • If your chocolate mixture starts to get too thick to pour easily into the pan, simply put it back in the microwave for 15 seconds, then stir and keep pouring.
  • Don't try to swirl the colors after pouring them into the pan. If you mix them together, you'll get more purple than red, white and blue.
