Made with Watermelon flavour concentrate and topped with mini chocolate chips to look like watermelon seeds, it’s a crowd-pleaser for both kids and adults!

Ingredients:

3 cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsalted butter
⅔ cup whipping cream
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon Watermelon Flavor
12 oz white chocolate chips
7 oz marshmallow crème (or fluff)
Pink and Green Food Coloring
⅓ cup mini semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Directions:

Step 1: Prep your pan
Line a 9x9-inch pan with foil and lightly coat it with non-stick spray. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the fudge base
In a medium saucepan (2 to 3-quart), combine sugar, butter, cream, and salt. Stir frequently over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Once boiling, stir constantly and let it boil for 4 minutes.

Step 3: Add the mix-ins
Remove the pan from heat. Immediately stir in the white chocolate chips, marshmallow crème, and watermelon flavoring until completely smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Color and layer

Transfer ¼ of the fudge mixture into a small bowl and tint it green.
Color the remaining fudge pink.
Pour the green layer into your prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly.
Carefully spoon and spread the pink fudge over the green layer.

Step 5: Add the “seeds”
Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the pink layer to mimic watermelon seeds. Gently press them in so they stick.

Step 6: Cool and cut
Let your fudge set at room temperature for several hours until firm. Once set, lift it out of the pan, peel off the foil, and slice into squares.
