GRINCH FUDGE
This GRINCH FUDGE is a fun holiday treat inspired by The Grinch. Somewhere between fudge and nougat, this chewy sweet treat is colored green and filled with red gumdrops.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 Ounce) Bag Mini Marshmallows
- 1 ¾ Cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1 Cup Red Gumdrops, quartered
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- ¼ Teaspoon Green Oil-Based Food Coloring
Instructions
- Quarter gumdrops before beginning. Next, line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and very lightly spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking. Set aside.
- Place the white chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, pausing every 30 seconds to stir the chips whether they’re melted or not to prevent burning.
- Once the chocolate is smooth with no lumps, set aside.
Immediately add the marshmallows and butter to a large mixing bowl (if your butter is from a stick, make sure it’s at least in two pieces and not one large one for better melting). - Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stop and stir and place back in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir until the butter is fully melted and mixed in.
- Add the green dye to the marshmallow mixture and stir until no more color streaks appear. If you would like a bit more color, add more dye a bit at a time. Each brand is different, so ¼ teaspoon is just a starting point.
- Add the chocolate on top of the marshmallow mixture and stir well.
- Add ¾ of the quartered gumdrops to the mixture and fold in.
- Microwave for 15-30 seconds, stir well.
- Quickly pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Lightly press the remaining gumdrop quarters onto the top.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for about 8 hours.
- Slice into ½-inch squares and enjoy!
Notes
Oil-based food coloring is necessary for this recipe. Water-based dyes will seize the chocolate.
