Since this is such an easy dessert recipe, your kids can help you put it together! They’d probably have a lot of fun adding the food coloring, or maybe even cutting out the stars!

Patriotic Red, White, and Blue Fudge

Makes 1 8×8″ pan of fudge.

The star cookie cutter I used was about 2.5″ It’s a big cutter, so it cuts out a big piece of fudge. It may be tempting to use a smaller star, but it will be a challenge to get the fudge out of the cookie cutter as this recipe is pretty sticky. If you don’t have a star, I suggest cutting the fudge into long strips, because it will still be gorgeous but easy to serve.

Ingredients

3 cups (24 ounces) vanilla baking chips
1 1/2 cup (12 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3 teaspoons vanilla
Blue food coloring (I used Wilton Color Gels in Royal Blue)
Red food coloring (I used Wilton Color Gels in Red)
Red, white and blue jimmies

Directions

1. Place foil inside an 8×8″ baking pan. Now take that pan to your freezer and make sure there’s a space for it to lay flat. You can thank me later.

2. In a small microwavable bowl, add 1 cup vanilla baking chips, 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Microwave on high, for 20 seconds. Stir and microwave in 10 second intervals until completely melted.

4. Pour into prepared pan and place in the freezer for about 2 minutes.

6. Place entire pan into the freezer for about 10-15 minutes or until cool.

7. Use a star shaped cookie cutter to cut into the fudge. The fudge is quite sticky so the struggle will be getting it out of the cookie cutter. Just slide it gently on all the corners and it will come out.

Then enjoy your patriotic red, white, and blue fudge!

If you need a patriotic dessert to serve at a Memorial Day or Fourth of July party, then you have to make this easy and tasty red, white, and blue fudge!

    Hmmm… you called them jimmies. Are you from Mass? That’s the only place I’ve heard that term! Of course, I call them shots. 🙂
