Cotton Candy Fudge

INGREDIENTS

• 18-21 ounces white chocolate chips*
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (equals 1 can)
• 1 teaspoon cotton candy flavoring
• food coloring: pink, blue, white

*If using pure white chocolate, with cocoa butter listed in the ingredients, use 21 ounces of white chocolate otherwise use 18 ounces.

DIRECTIONS

1. Line an 8-inch square pan with non-stick tin foil or parchment paper.
2. Stir together the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat at 70% power for 90 seconds.
3. Let the bowl rest in the microwave for 3 minutes before stirring. This allows the heat in the bowl to help melt all the chocolate evenly.
4. Alternatively, you can melt the white chocolate and condensed milk in a saucepan set over low heat on the stove until 75% of the chocolate is melted then remove from the heat and let rest for 3 minutes before stirring until melted.
5. Stir in the cotton candy flavoring.
6. Color with white food coloring.
7. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the warm fudge into a small bowl and color that using blue coloring.
8. Color the remaining fudge using pink food coloring.
9. Pour the pink fudge into the lined pan and spread it into an even layer.
10. Spoon the blue fudge into a disposable pastry bag or a small zip-top bag and snip off a tip.
11. Pipe 16 swirls of blue fudge onto the pink fudge.
12. Cover the pan with plastic wrap or tin foil (don't allow it to touch the fudge) and either set aside at room temperature for at least 4 hours until firm or chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until firm.
13. When ready, peel the tin foil or parchment paper off the bottom of the fudge and cut the fudge into 16 squares.
