Ingredient Substitutions
If you’re aiming for a vegan version, simply swap out the sweetened condensed milk for coconut condensed milk and use dairy-free white chocolate chips. For the candy melts, you can substitute with more white chocolate, ensuring it’s vegan-friendly if needed. If candy eyes aren’t available, you can use small dots of dark chocolate to create your own spooky eyes.

Fudge is a classic American treat, beloved for its rich and creamy texture. This particular recipe takes inspiration from the playful and creative spirit of Halloween, a holiday celebrated in many countries with costumes, decorations, and sweet treats.

Pro Tips
