Candy Corn Tie Dyed Brownies

Having a recipe that looks impressive but is actually easy to make is perfect for those last-minute moments when you need something that doesn't seem like you threw it together two hours before the Halloween party. This candy corn fudge brownie recipe by Inside Bru Crew Life looks so pretty, you might not even want to eat it! But thankfully with a frosting recipe that can be made in less than 20 minutes including clean-up, you can bake, admire, and eat over and over again. 

This brownie recipe uses three different shades of gel food coloring and adds them to fudge to create a candy corn tie-dyed look. To make this colorful fudge on top of Greyston Bakery brownies, line a pan with densely packed brownies. You can use however many brownies you'd like to make and adjust the pan size as necessary. Then simply follow the instructions below and pour the mixture into the lined pan for easy cleanup. 

Ingredients:

• 3 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 - 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup marshmallow cream
• orange and yellow gel food coloring

Instructions:

• In a large saucepan combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Stir until melted and creamy.
• Add the marshmallow cream and stir until creamy again. Divide the melted fudge into 3 glass bowls.
• Use a toothpick to add a small amount of the gel food coloring to two of the bowls. Slowly add more color until it is the desired color. If the fudge starts to thicken, place it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
• After you have the three colors in the shade that you want, place each bowl in the microwave for 20-30 seconds and stir.
• Quickly drop spoonfuls of each color all over the top of the cooled brownies. After you have all the fudge spooned on, take a knife and swirl the colors. Do not swirl too much, or the colors will start to go together.
• Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
