Can I make Candy Corn Fudge without cake mix ?

Yes, you can! While cake mix adds a birthday cake-like flavor and smoother texture, you can skip it if needed. Replace it with powdered sugar for sweetness and consistency, though the flavor will be more focused on the white chocolate. Just ensure whatever substitute you use is dry and fine to maintain texture.

How do you cut Candy Corn Fudge cleanly ?

To get sharp, clean cuts, chill your fudge overnight until it's fully set. Use a long, sharp knife and run it under hot water between each cut. Wipe the blade dry before slicing again. This helps prevent the layers from smearing and keeps each square picture-perfect.

Can I use white chocolate bars instead of chips ?

Yes, high-quality white chocolate bars work just as well. Chop the bars finely so they melt evenly. Just be sure you're not using baking white chocolate with no cocoa butter—those types don’t melt the same way and can become grainy.

Is Candy Corn Fudge gluten-free ?

This recipe can be gluten-free if you use a gluten-free cake mix and confirm that your white chocolate chips and sprinkles are certified gluten-free. Always check ingredient labels to be sure. This makes it a great option for Halloween parties with dietary restrictions.

Instructions

Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides.
For the yellow layer: In a saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup white chocolate chips, ⅓ can sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tablespoons butter. Stir until smooth.
Stir in ½ cup cake mix and a few drops of yellow food coloring. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Let it chill for 10–15 minutes.
For the orange layer: Repeat the process with 1 cup chocolate chips, ⅓ can condensed milk, 2 tbsp butter, and ½ cup cake mix. Add orange food coloring. Gently pour over the yellow layer. Chill for another 10–15 minutes.
For the white layer: Melt the remaining chocolate, condensed milk, and butter. Stir in the final ½ cup of cake mix without coloring. Pour over the orange layer.
Top with festive Halloween sprinkles in candy corn colors.
Refrigerate overnight or until fully set. Lift fudge out using parchment overhang, cut into squares, and serve.

Notes

Use gel food coloring for vibrant layers without altering texture. Let each layer cool slightly before adding the next to keep colors crisp. Great make-ahead treat—lasts up to 10 days in the fridge or 2 months frozen.
