1. Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips?

While white chocolate chips are key to the smooth, creamy texture of this Dreamy Cotton Candy Fudge, you can substitute them with milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips. Keep in mind that this will change the flavor profile, and the fudge will no longer have the light, creamy taste of the original version.

2. How do I store leftover cotton candy fudge?

To keep your Dreamy Cotton Candy Fudge fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay delicious for up to 1 week. If you want to store it for longer, you can freeze the fudge. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil and place it in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.

3. Can I make this fudge without cotton candy flavoring?

If you can’t find cotton candy flavoring, you can try using vanilla, strawberry, or even bubblegum flavoring as a substitute. These will give the fudge a different flavor, but still provide that sweet, candy-like taste. You could also experiment with adding a touch of marshmallow extract for a similar nostalgic flavor.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the cotton candy flavoring.
Divide the mixture evenly into two bowls, adding pink food coloring to one and purple food coloring to the other. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the pink fudge mixture into the prepared pan, then add dollops of the purple fudge on top. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the colors together.
Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is fully set.
Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper, and cut into squares to serve.

Notes

Be sure to melt the white chocolate mixture over low heat to avoid burning.
Gel food coloring provides more vibrant colors than liquid food coloring, so a little goes a long way.
If you can’t find cotton candy flavoring, you can substitute with vanilla or strawberry flavoring for a different twist.
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
