Steps:
- Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil. Set aside.
- In a medium-size, microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate layer ingredients. Microwave the mixture on high at 30-second intervals until the chocolate is melted (about a minute), stirring at each interval. When the mixture's smooth, use a spatula to spread it evenly into the prepared pan.
- In another medium-size microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate layer ingredients. Repeat the melting process as described in step 2, but stir at 20-second intervals, as white chocolate tends to scorch easily. Spread the white chocolate evenly over the dark chocolate layer.
- While the fudge is still warm, use a knife to gently score it into 1-inch squares, then put a candy heart on top of each square.
- Chill the fudge uncovered in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm. Lift the foil to remove the fudge from the pan and place the whole hunk of fudge on a cutting board. Use a large knife (a parent's job) to cut apart the squares, then peel off the foil from the bottom.
- Place each fudge square into a foil bonbon cup or mini muffin cup. Center the cup on a cellophane square and wrap it using 1-inch pieces of pipe cleaner to secure the ends. Makes 64 bite-size pieces. Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for added firmness.

Tips
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. This will help to prevent the fudge from being too soft or too hard.
- Stir the sugar syrup constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
- Add the butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the sugar syrup gradually, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the fudge from curdling.
- Pour the fudge onto a greased baking sheet and let it cool completely before cutting it into pieces. This will help to prevent the fudge from sticking to the pan.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature. The fudge will keep for up to two weeks.
- If you want to make chocolate fudge, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the sugar syrup before adding the butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Increase cooking time by 1 minute.
- Customize your fudge by adding different flavors, such as peppermint extract, almond extract, or peanut butter. You can also add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
