Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 can (16 ounces) Buttercream Frosting
- 4 ounces (about 3/4 cup) red candy melts
- 4 ounces (about 3/4 cup) strawberry flavored pink candy melts
- 1 teaspoon strawberry extract
- valentine nonpareils sprinkles
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch x 8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
- Remove the top and the foil covering from the can of frosting and place the can in the microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until fully melted and smooth. Timing may vary based on the wattage of your microwave.
- Add the extract to the frosting and stir until blended.
- Place the red candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and return to the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until candy melts are melted and smooth.
- Place the pink candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and return to the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until candy melts are melted and smooth.
- Combine half of the melted frosting and the red candy melts and stir until blended.
- Combine the remaining half of the melted frosting with the pink candy melts and stir until blended.
- Pour some of the red color into the prepared pan and then some of the pink color into the pan, alternating colors, swirling with a toothpick and then tapping the pan to remove any air bubbles. Let set for about 5 minutes, then repeat with the remaining red and pink colors, making a 2nd layer over the first layer.
- Sprinkle the top of the fudge with valentine non-pareils.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.
- Cut into 16 pieces.
