Double Decker Chocolate Strawberry Fudge

Jump to Recipe

This Double Decker Chocolate Strawberry Fudge is easy to make and perfect for gift giving. Who wouldn't want to receive this pink fudge treat for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day?

Every year we go to the Jersey Shore and we always make a trip to one of the homemade fudge stores on the boardwalk. There is something about salt air and sweets that go together and my family does not miss the opportunity.

When I walk in the store, the smell mesmerizes me and it really is hard to choose one flavor. So normally, we buy a few different flavors and have a fudge tasting after dinner.

Well again, I couldn't decide on a flavor, so I choose two flavors to make this double layered pink fudge. Why pick one when it's simple enough to put the flavor of chocolate and strawberry all in one bite?

Of course, you'll love this fudge if you are a chocolate lover. I make this fudge as well as my Chocolate Hershey Bar Cake whenever I have "chocolate lover guests" visiting my house.

How to Make Double Decker Fudge

Line a pan with foil or parchment paper.
Add the chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter into a medium size sauce pan over low to medium heat.
Stir mixture until melted and blended together.
Pour the fudge into the pan.
Let the chocolate layer harden for about 30 minutes before making the strawberry layer.
Using a large bowl, whisk the cake mix and sweetened condensed milk together and add to a medium size sauce pan with the white chocolate chips. Combine all ingredients together over medium heat and mix until melted and blended.
Pour over the chocolate layer and sprinkle with the mini chocolate chips.
Cover and refrigerate overnight so that the fudge sets before cutting into squares.
