Red Velvet Fudge

Easy Red Velvet Fudge is made with white chocolate chips, cake mix, and sprinkles for a simple, no-bake holiday treat that everyone loves.

It’s fudge season!!!! I say that with an abundance of enthusiasm because my mom was the queen of fudge. She had people lining up to get her to make a little plate of her AMAZING recipe.

So when I think of fudge – I automatically think of her, which makes me smile.

So last week while I was taking a day off from the blog in remembrance of her – I also honored her by making some fudge. I keep her in my studio space most of the time – that way she can be with me all day, every day while I work.

But last week I took her down to the kitchen with me to work. My mom usually stuck with the traditional fudge varieties – chocolate, peanut butter & chocolate with walnuts.

I pretty much lived on those during the holidays growing up. So I’m pretty sure my mom would be pretty darn impressed that I stepped outside the norm & create this Red Velvet Fudge.

I’m not going to lie – it’s flat-out INCREDIBLE as far as fudge goes. Let me show you how you can make some too! I’m telling you – make this for your holiday parties!! It will be the first plate that empties out….I promise.

No-Bake Red Velvet Recipes

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is the best way to store leftover fudge?

Just keep it refrigerated for up to 7 days. I like to make sure it is covered or wrapped tightly with foil if I am keeping it in the pan I made it in to keep it from drying out. You want to keep it creamy and limiting the exposure to dry winter air is the best way to do that.

You can also transfer it to an airtight container or resealable bag. I do recommend laying a piece of parchment paper in between if you plan on stacking the pieces to keep them from sticking together.

Can you freeze homemade fudge?

Yes, you can freeze homemade fudge. However, before you do so, make sure to wrap it tightly to protect it from freezer burn. I like to wrap it with plastic wrap first and then wrap it with foil or place it in a resealable freezer bag. The double layer keeps it from drying out.

Ingredients for Red Velvet Fudge

• white chocolate chips
• sweetened condensed milk
• red velvet cake mix
• white cake mix
• sprinkles

Tips for Making Microwave Fudge

• Always line the pan with foil for easy prep and cleanup.
• Make sure you are using fresh ingredients – not the cake mix you found in the back of the pantry from who knows when.
• Make sure to not seize your white chocolate. Cook at 50% power and be sure to stir frequently to prevent it from overheating.
• Add a variety of sprinkles to keep it fun.
• Slice it with a sharp knife while the fudge is cold, directly out of the refrigerator.

How to Make Red Velvet Fudge

1. Prepare an 8×8 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying it with cooking spray or coating it with butter or shortening.
2. Combine the white chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave-safe bowl.
3. Microwave in 30-second intervals at 50% power until the mixture is melted, stirring after each interval.
4. Divide the mixture into two bowls.
5. Add the red velvet cake mix to one bowl and the white cake mix to the other.
6. Stir in each of the cake mixes until both are smooth.
7. Pour the red velvet fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spread it gently into an even layer.
8. Next, add the white fudge mixture over the top of the red layer, carefully smoothing it out. Try to not mix the two if you want the layers as shown in the images. If you would like a marbled effect as shown in the other images, gently drag a knife through the two layers to mix – but take care to not over-mix.
9. Evenly add sprinkles over the top.
10. Chill for at least 1 hour or until the fudge is set.
11. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil overhang, cut, and serve.

Can I use another flavor of cake mix?

Yes – you can use any flavor of cake mix for this recipe. Of course, it won’t be red velvet fudge at that point – but the possibilities are only limited to the variety of cake mix you can find when it comes to changing this recipe up.

Why did my fudge turn out grainy or watery?

This often happens when using low-quality chocolate. This is why I highly encourage you to use the best quality you can afford. I like to use either Guittard or Ghirardelli when making fudge.

Can I use another variety of chocolate chips?

I don’t see why not. The only thing is that if you are using any type of regular chocolate, it will then turn out in the color of chocolate. It will still have the cake flavor you are adding, but you won’t be able to change the color as you can when using white chocolate.

Can I tint the colors?

Yes – if you want to change the color of the white layer to something else – maybe green, add a bit of food coloring when separating the mixture into the two bowls.

For this – I do recommend using powdered food coloring instead of drops or gel – as sometimes the melted white chocolate can do some strange things when you add the color. Sometimes it will seize up, sometimes it separates from the parabens. It’s not great and you have to toss it and start over.
