Instructions
 

Fudge

  • Begin by measuring all of the ingredients you will need for the Grinch fudge recipe.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the condensed milk, vanilla extract, and green food coloring.
  • Mix everything together using a silicone spatula until well combined.
  • Fill a pot with water, filling it about 1/3 of the way, and bring it to a simmer. Then, turn the heat to low.
  • Place a large glass or metal bowl on top of the pot, ensuring that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
  • Add the condensed milk, butter, and white chocolate chips to the bowl.
  • Mix the ingredients regularly while they melt.
  • Everything should be completely melted and the mixture has a smooth consistency.
  • Line a baking pan with parchment paper and transfer the fudge mixture into the pan.
  • Smooth the mixture evenly with a clean silicone spatula.
  • Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.

Red chocolate hearts

  • In the meantime, prepare the red chocolate hearts. Turn a candy melting pot to high heat and add red chocolate melts.
  • Mix the melts regularly with a silicone spatula while they melt until smooth.
  • Place a heart-shaped silicone mold on a small metal tray.
  • Fill the silicone mold with the melted chocolate, removing any excess chocolate from the mold with a cake spatula.
    Freeze the mold for 5 minutes, and then repeat the process 5 times to create 5 molds filled with melted chocolate.
  • Remove the mold from the freezer.
  • Carefully remove the chocolate hearts from the silicone mold.

Cutting fudge

  • Once the fudge has hardened, it's time to cut it into perfect squares. Remove the fudge from the fridge.
  • Peel it off the parchment paper. Place the fudge on a cutting board and wear disposable gloves to prevent leaving fingerprints on the fudge.
  • Using a 5-wheel pastry cutter, score the fudge by making parallel lines.
  • Turn the fudge block 90 degrees and score again to create a grid pattern.
  • Cut the fudge block along the scored lines, wiping the knife with a wet kitchen towel after each cut.
  • Push the fudge pieces back together to maintain their shape.
  • Turn the fudge block 90 degrees and finish cutting the fudge using the scored guidelines.
  • You now have perfect fudge squares.
  • To add the final touch, put a drop of melted chocolate on top of each fudge square using a cake spatula, and immediately place a red chocolate heart on top.
  • Continue attaching the chocolate hearts to each fudge square.
  • Now, you can enjoy your perfect Grinch fudge pieces!

Notes

How to Store Fudge
To store fudge: wrap it securely in parchment paper or place it in an airtight container. Label the date on the outside and store it at room temperature for up to 2-3 weeks. 
To freeze uncut fudge: transfer the block of fudge to a freezer-safe Ziploc bag and label the date on the outside of the bag. Push out the extra air while sealing the bag. Store the fudge in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Move the frozen fudge to the fridge to thaw for 2 days before cutting and serving.
