What makes this apple fudge spooky?

The spooky element comes from either the color (often dark or eerie green) or presentation of the fudge, resembling poison apples. You can achieve this with food coloring or creative decorations, adding a Halloween touch to this delicious treat.

How long does spooky apple fudge last?

Spooky apple fudge typically lasts for about 1-2 weeks when stored properly in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. The key is to prevent it from drying out, so ensure proper sealing.

Can I freeze spooky apple fudge?

Yes, you can freeze spooky apple fudge. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can last for up to 2-3 months in the freezer. Allow it to thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

What kind of apples are best for spooky apple fudge?

Description

Creamy, decadent spooky apple fudge made with real apples and a hint of spice, perfect for Halloween celebrations!

Ingredients

Scale

3 cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsalted butter (1 ½ sticks), cut into pieces
⅔ cup evaporated milk
1 (12 ounce) package semi sweet chocolate chips
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

Prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved.
Continue boiling for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Then mix in the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract.
In a separate skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat until the apples are softened and the mixture becomes slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour half of the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the fudge, then pour the remaining fudge over the apple layer.
Use a knife or skewer to swirl the apple mixture into the fudge gently, creating a marbled effect.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap, pressing it gently onto the surface of the fudge. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares and serve.
