NO-BAKE UNICORN FUDGE
Steps:
- Line an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with foil, leaving an overhang on all four sides. Divide the 2 containers of vanilla frosting equally between 4 microwave-safe bowls. Microwave each bowl of frosting until liquid, 20 to 30 seconds. Put each color of melting candy in a separate microwave-safe bowl. Microwave each color in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted and smooth. Pour each color of melted candy into a bowl of frosting and mix well. Quickly spoon each color into the prepared baking pan, swirling the colors together as you work. Tap the pan on a work surface to level the candy, then cover the top with colorful sprinkles. Gently press the sprinkles down into the fudge with your hands. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour. Lift the candy from the pan using the overhanging foil edges, remove the foil and cut into squares. If you like, package the fudge in small windowed boxes and tie with ribbon.

I double the recipe and put in a glass baking dish (9x13 inches). Nice for holidays . . . Keep it for a secret and family and friends will think you worked forever on it . . . (smiles). You can also use peanut butter chips and make peanut butter fudge.

My neighbor taught me how to make this. She has been making it for years and people are always asking her for it. I have butterscotch chips down as the ingredient but any kind of chips work, chocolate melt faster.

- Combine pudding, butter and milk.
- Bring to a full boil.
- Boil gently for 1 minute; stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat.
- Quickly blend in sugar; add nuts.
- Pour into greased 8x4-inch pan.

- Note: Any flavor of pudding will do.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the fudge will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 60%).
- Don't overcook the fudge: Overcooked fudge will be grainy and crumbly. Cook the fudge until it reaches a temperature of 234°F (112°C), or until a candy thermometer inserted into the center reads 234°F (112°C).
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent the fudge from crumbling. Let the fudge cool for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Store the fudge properly: Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
