Description
This Halloween fudge recipe creates spooky, brain-shaped chocolate peanut butter fudge with a gooey raspberry ‘blood’ center. It’s a perfect, creepy dessert for Halloween parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup seedless raspberry or strawberry jam
- Optional: red food coloring
- Optional: brain-shaped silicone mold
Instructions
- Lightly grease your brain mold or mini muffin tin and place it on a freezer-safe tray.
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, condensed milk, and butter. Stir until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in salt and vanilla extract.
- Spoon the fudge mixture into each mold cavity, filling it halfway and pressing it up the sides.
- Place 1 teaspoon of jam into the center of each cavity. Add red food coloring if desired for a more dramatic effect.
- Top with more fudge mixture to completely cover the jam. Smooth the tops.
- Place the filled molds in the freezer for 2-3 hours, or until firm.
- Once firm, remove the fudge from the molds. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the full gooey effect.
Notes
- Use seedless jam for the smoothest, blood-like appearance.
- Work quickly as fudge thickens as it cools.
- Lightly grease molds for easier release.
- Ensure the fudge is completely frozen before unmolding for best results.
- For extra gore, drizzle red gel icing or extra jam over the top after unmolding.
