When you head into the kitchen to make some of these great recipes you’ll want to have the best tools on hand.

Of course mixing bowls, a mixer, spatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!

I like these casserole dishes from Pyrex which are great for no bake recipes and for all your favorite dinners, brownies, cakes, and more.

You can’t go wrong with some good sharp knives and a cutting board. They will always come in handy in the kitchen for recipes of any kind, even desserts!

Spray pan with cooking spray and cover bottom and sides of the pan with parchment paper or foil and set aside. 

In a medium size bowl, melt white chocolate chips and butter at 50% power in the microwave in 30 second bursts until completely melted and smooth. Do not cook for more than 30 seconds at a time or you will burn them.

Separate mixture evenly into 2 bowls. Mix in the pink food coloring in one bowl and the blue in the other and mix until the color is thoroughly combined.

Mix in the vanilla and cotton candy extracts, along with the salt.

Alternate adding spoonful’s of each color into the pan. 

Using your knife, chopstick, or wooden skewer, swirl the mixture.

Cover the baking pan with foil and place in the refrigerator until fudge is firm. 

Place fudge on a cutting board and cut into 1-2” pieces, top with a bit of cotton candy if desired and enjoy!
