Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Cream Fudge Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 package (12oz) semi-sweet baking chips
- 3 cups white chocolate baking chips (about 1.5,11 ounce packages)
- 2 cans (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons Irish Cream liquor
- Green Food Coloring – amerigel soft color paste in leaf green
- St. Patrick’s Day Sprinkles (wilton brand used)
Directions
Line a square baking pan with aluminum foil.

Refrigerate for 1 hour.
In a saucepan and on medium-low heat, melt white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and green food coloring. Stir constantly until melted. Remove from heat and pour on top of chocolate fudge in pan. Add sprinkles to top and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
Remove from pan, remove foil from fudge and cut into cubes and serve.
Note: The bottom chocolate layer will be a little softer than the top, green layer. If you struggle to cut it into bars, you can turn the entire block of fudge upside down (green side down) and use a sharp knife to cut the fudge.
Another option is to toss the fudge into the freezer for about 2-3 hours and then remove it from the foil and slice it.

This recipe sure looks taste, but can I substitute any manufacturer of food coloring or will the fudge not be as pleasing to the eye. If you recommend that I stay with “green food coloring (amerigel soft color paste in leaf green)” then could you tell me where I can get amerigel soft color paste, as an internet search I am referred to wound and skin care products. Thank you for your assistance in this.
You should be able to use any brand, that’s just the one I used!
