I cannot believe this is the last day of Christmas Week. It’s been so much fun, and a bit fattening too. I’ve had blast hosting the event. And baking for the event. And eating for the event. I mean blogger HAVE to test their recipes. It’s a hard job but someone has to do it.

I’ve made some great recipes this week. Oddly most seemed to have the word “crack” in them. I got a bit carried away with those types of recipes. It’s hard not to because they’re so easy and wicked delicious at the same time. Plus they contain chocolate so that is a surefire hit.

I hope you’ve enjoyed Christmas Week as much as we have. So many amazing recipes to peruse and check out. I cannot get over how many recipes I whipped up this week. Not to mention how many recipes I’ve tasted and perfected this week. I’m honestly surprised I can fit through the door at this point.

No matter how many calories were consumed one thing is certain, I could not ask for better partners in crime for this amazing event. The bloggers involved with Christmas Week stepped up and blew my mind every single day. So THANK YOU to all my lovely friends who joined me this week!

A huge shout out to Aly of Cooking In Stilettos for helping me update recipe links this week. It’s a big job to go through posts every day to ensure all posts went up and had correct information. Aly stepped up when my week spun out of control for personal reasons. Thank you Alycat!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • Red gel food colouring start with 1 dab then add from there to adjust colour
  • 1 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Line an 8 inch pan with foil or parchment paper, set aside.
  • Grab two medium size bowls.
  • Place milk chocolate chips into one bowl. Add red gel food colouring and stir until combined. Start with one little dab to start. You can always adjust the colour later. Always best to start with a bit and add more. Once you add too much you can't go back. Set aside. 
  • Pour white chocolate chips into the other bowl. Set bowl aside.
  • In a small saucepan heat the sweetened condensed milk over medium-low heat. You want it to bubble gently across the top of the milk, and heat through without browning or sticking. This takes a few minutes. Don't walk away from it, stir it occasionally and keep a close eye on it. It can go from warming gently to burning pretty quickly.
  • Add the salt and vanilla. Stir. Take off heat. Pour half the milk over the milk chocolate chips, and half over the white chocolate chips.
  • Use a different spoon to stir each one quickly until the chocolate chips melt and the mixture is smooth and thick.
  • Drop random spoonfuls here and there in the pan. Just drop them all over so they look like patchwork. Keep adding spoonfuls randomly until all the mixture is in the pan.
  • Take a knife and gently pull it back and forth slowly to create patterns in the fudge. There's no right or wrong way to do it. I drag mine in lines one way, then turn the pan and run them the other way.
  • Place the pan in the fridge for about 2 to 3 hours, or overnight. You can score it before it completely hardens if you like.
  • Once fudge is chilled cut into squares.
  • Serve with a big old red velvet loving smile!

      I love all the stuff you make. Gummy candies in thumbprints would be amazing. Very cool idea. What are Chocolate TV Rolls? I’ve not heard of those.

    Kim,
    You make both hosting and creating gorgeous treats look effortless, but I know there has to be a ton of behind the scenes work involved–at least in the hosting.
    I’m pretty sure in making those lovely swirls as well. My marbling skills leave a lot to be desired. It’s ok, everyone has to have something that they are good at.
    Thanks for the fudge, thanks for the opportunity, thanks for being you!

    I could sit and stare at the photos of this fudge all day long. And that would be much better for my waistline than getting up, going to the pantry and making myself a batch to eat right now. But it wouldn’t be as much fun and I’ll all about the fun:)

    My daughter just made this fudge following the directions and we realized the way it’s written that you would end up with a milk chocolate and pink swirled fudge. Generally with a red velvet recipe you add the red to the chocolate. I have a feeling the recipe should have stated to add the red to the milk chocolate chips and leave the white chips white. They both taste the same but we were expecting the red and white fudge like the picture.

      Hi Becky. Thanks for reaching out. You are completely correct. There was an error in the recipe. I apologize for any inconvenience. I had someone email about them so I’ve corrected the recipe. I really appreciate when people like you let me know if I have errors. That way I can fix issues right away. The downside to blogging solo is I have no one to proofread for me so occasionally I make mistakes. Thanks for the heads up and for being so nice about it. Not everyone is so kind. It’s much appreciated.

    Just made these and our red Fudge seems to have separated, it looks all oily and wouldn’t swirl properly. Any ideas why, I’m wondering whether it was the food colouring but it shouldn’t be?

      Hi Lauren. Sorry, I just saw this. I took a bunch of time off over the holidays because my daughter was home on military leave for a month.

      It could have been the food colouring. I also noticed when I made this is a super hot kitchen once that it would not set up as nicely. I’ll make a fresh batch next week and see if there’s an issue I should be aware of. I know this one is super popular around Valentine’s Day too so I’ll do a test to see if there’s something written up incorrectly. Thanks for letting me know and I’ll definitely share my results. I am so sorry you had trouble with this. I know how frustrating it can be when recipes don’t turn out properly.

    Do these need to be stored in the fridge or at room temp?

      Sorry, just saw this. Generally speaking fudge can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week. You can also store it in the fridge, which will last up to 2 weeks easily.
