How to Make Jelly Bean Fudge
- Line an 8-inch baking dish with foil; spray with non stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat add the white chocolate chips and condensed milk.
- Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Divide chocolate into 3 bowls (about 2 cups each).
- In the first bowl, stir in the green food coloring and almond extract.
- Pour into prepared pan, smooth and refrigerate until firm (about 10 minutes).
- In the second bowl stir together the red food coloring, coconut and strawberry extracts.
- Gently spread pink mixture over green mixture.
- Refrigerate until firm (about 20 minutes).
- By this time the remaining chocolate might be too cool to spread. If that is the case pop the bowl into the microwave and heat (about 30 seconds).
- Stir vanilla into remaining chocolate, spread over pink layer; refrigerate 10 minutes.
- Take fudge out of refrigerator and lightly score fudge lengthwise and crosswise into 8 rows each way.
- Press jelly beans into the center of each square.
- Cover and refrigerate until set (about 4 hours). Lift fudge from the pan; remove the foil and cut into pieces following score lines.
