Ingredients
For the coconut fudge layer:
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups shredded sweetened coconut
For the blood filling:
- 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam or preserves
- Red gel food coloring (as needed)
For the top drizzle (optional):
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- Additional red gel food coloring
Instructions
Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and melted.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and shredded coconut.
Spread half of the coconut fudge mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
In a small bowl, mix the raspberry jam with a drop or two of red gel food coloring until it resembles a blood-red color.
Spoon or drizzle the jam mixture over the first layer of fudge.
Carefully spread the remaining coconut fudge mixture on top of the jam layer, covering it completely.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
If desired, drizzle melted white chocolate over the top and add a few drops of red gel food coloring. Use a toothpick to swirl it for a blood-splatter effect.
Once set, cut into squares and serve. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
-
For a more dramatic “bloody” effect, use raspberry or strawberry jam with a few drops of red food coloring.
-
Chill the fudge layers thoroughly before slicing to get clean, defined edges.
-
Substitute dark chocolate for a richer contrast or swirl it with white chocolate for a marbled look.
-
Add crushed cookies, candy bar pieces, or edible glitter to match your Halloween theme.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week—perfect for make-ahead party prep!
