Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

- Optional: red gel food coloring for a bloodier look
How to Make Halloween Zombie Vein Fudge
Step 1: Prepare Your Pan
Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
Step 2: Melt the Fudge Base
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until everything melts together smoothly. The mixture should be creamy and thick, with no lumps.
Step 3: Add Vanilla and Color
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Then, add several drops of green gel food coloring, mixing until you reach your desired eerie zombie hue. Start with a little and build up slowly for the perfect ghoulish green.
Step 4: Pour and Swirl
Pour about half of the green fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth it evenly. Spoon half of the raspberry jam over the fudge in thin lines or swirls. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the jam into the fudge to create “vein” patterns.
Add the remaining fudge mixture on top and repeat with the rest of the jam, swirling again. For an extra-bloody appearance, add a few drops of red gel food coloring into the jam before swirling it in.
Step 5: Chill and Set
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2–3 hours, or until fully set. Once firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into squares or rectangles. Each piece will reveal spooky red veins running through the zombie-green fudge — creepy and delicious!
Step 6: Serve and Creep Out Your Guests
Arrange the fudge pieces on a black or dark platter for maximum Halloween effect. They’ll look like eerie, edible chunks of zombie goo — and taste absolutely divine.
Pro Tips for Perfect Fudge
- Use Gel Food Coloring: Liquid food coloring can make the fudge too soft; gel gives vibrant color without altering texture.
- Don’t Overheat the Chocolate: Melt slowly on low heat to avoid grainy texture or burning.
- Get Creative with Swirls: Use a toothpick or skewer to design intricate “veins.”
- Add a Flavor Boost: Stir in a drop of peppermint or almond extract for extra dimension.
- Presentation Tip: Sprinkle with edible glitter or fake candy “eyeballs” for added Halloween drama.
Variations
- Bloody Brain Fudge: Replace green coloring with pale gray or pink, and swirl in extra red jam for a “brainy” effect.
- Witch’s Brew Fudge: Use purple or black food coloring instead of green, and swirl in blue or red jam.
- Ghostly Marble Fudge: Skip the jam and create white-and-green marbling for a softer look.
- Spiderweb Fudge: Drizzle white chocolate on top in spiderweb patterns before chilling.
Storage Tips
- Room Temperature: Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days in a cool spot.
- Refrigerator: Store for up to 2 weeks for firmer fudge.
- Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
