# How to Make It:
01 -
Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
02 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips with 5 ounces of sweetened condensed milk. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Incorporate 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Evenly spread the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan with an offset spatula.
03 -
Refrigerate the pan for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate layer to set before proceeding.
04 -
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and the remaining 5 ounces sweetened condensed milk. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, stirring afterward. Continue to microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and several drops of orange gel food coloring until evenly tinted.
05 -
Spread the orange fudge mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate base using an offset spatula. Immediately press candy corn pieces into the surface in even rows.
06 -
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour or until firm. Remove from the pan, slice into 24 pieces, and serve at room temperature.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Use gel food coloring for vibrant color and to prevent the chocolate from seizing, as it is not water-based.
02 -
To evenly divide sweetened condensed milk, measure 5 ounces with a liquid measuring cup or weigh 180 grams.
