Here’s a recipe for Galaxy Swirl Cotton Candy Fudge that combines colorful swirls with a cotton candy flavor. The key is to use cotton candy-flavored extract to get that unique, sweet taste, and food coloring for the galaxy effect.
Ingredients:
-
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
-
2 cups white chocolate chips
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 tsp cotton candy flavoring/extract (find this in candy or baking supply stores or online)
-
Food coloring (blue, purple, pink, and black for the galaxy effect)
-
Sprinkles (optional, for added sparkle)
Instructions:
-
Prepare your pan:
-
Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or foil for easy removal of the fudge later.
-
-
Melt the white chocolate base:
-
In a medium saucepan, melt the white chocolate chips and butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
-
Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue stirring until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the cotton candy flavoring.
-
-
Divide the mixture:
-
Split the melted fudge mixture evenly into four bowls. (If you want to get creative with your color amounts, you can adjust the ratios a bit.)
-
-
Color your fudge:
-
Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl. You can use blue for one bowl, pink for another, purple for a third, and leave the fourth one white or color it black if you want more of a deep galaxy effect.
-
-
Layer and swirl:
-
Begin layering the colored fudge mixtures into the prepared pan, spooning each color into the pan randomly or in stripes, stacking them on top of each other.
-
Once the layers are in, use a skewer or a knife to gently swirl the colors together to create a galaxy-like effect. Don’t overdo it—you want distinct colors to show!
-
-
Chill:
-
Place the pan in the fridge for about 2-4 hours or until the fudge is fully set and firm to the touch.
-
-
Cut and serve:
-
Once set, remove the fudge from the pan and cut into squares. Optionally, you can sprinkle some edible glitter or sparkly sprinkles on top for an extra pop of magic.

Enjoy your fun, galaxy-themed cotton candy fudge! 🌌🍬
