This week, I made some bright and colorful white chocolate Unicorn Fudge that is guaranteed to brighten up anyone's day. If you haven't noticed, the Unicorn trend has taken the Instagram baking world by storm.

I can't say I am surprised. Unicorns are pretty cool. I should know because I have spent the better part of the last 26 years trying to become one. I'm not talking about the mythical horses with the horn in the middle of their head (although that would be awesome), I'm talking about what the idea of "being a Unicorn" represents in our culture.

Today, to be a Unicorn is to be something truly special. A beautiful and majestic creature that is unique in all the right ways. You know what I am talking about - the kind of person that can't help but stand out in a crowd. Someone that everyone looks at and just thinks "Wow. That person is AWESOME."

My whole life I have been working to be the best at everything I did. Things like better grades, higher test scores, more followers - whatever it was, I was always killing myself to be something more than I was. But after years of constantly beating myself up for not being better, I have learned that trying to be a Unicorn kind of sucks.

I will let you in on a little secret, no matter how amazing you are, there is always going to be someone who is smarter, faster, or just better than you are...damn unicorns. And no matter how good you get, those people will always be there to make you doubt yourself.

So in 2017, I have decided to give up on trying to be something that I am not. To stop comparing myself to others and to just live my life the best I can and be the best I can be. But don't worry. Just because I have given up on my dreams of becoming a Unicorn doesn't mean I am going to stop making Unicorn themed sweet treats. Enjoy the fudge!

I don't have a microwave... Do you think I could make it with a double boiler? I'm not very experienced with fudge... :P Thanks! It looks amazing!

Misty Childs

I'm totally making these for my daughter's birthday this weekend! How long do they stay fresh? Can I make them the day before the party and they still taste amazing the next day??

Audrey

Hi, this is a great recipe! I was wondering, can you combine multiple colours before putting it into the fridge? I would like to make mine rainbow! Thanks

Lol girl

Omg they look soooooooo good. I'm going to make these

Leanne

Hi thanks for thw quick response - , we have done a trial run tonight ! Unfortunatley when it came out the microwave it was very oily and clumpy. We drained off the oil which seemed to help but we were left with a 'dough' like consistency. Ive managed to put it in silicone molds to see how it sets. What should the consistency be like when it comes out the microwave ?

Leanne

Hi there i would like to make these for my daughters birthday party. Can i ask - how long do they keep in the fridge ? Can you use a 'lighter' version of heavy cream? How much in oz is needed of the heavy cream ? Thank you !

Simonne

Would this recipe work without the heavy cream? I have a box of fudge that just needs to be baked. Can I just add in the food coloring & vanilla extract before putting it in the oven or is heavy cream needed for this recipe to work?

Bethany Ashley

Wait I'm making this for my daughter's class and she has a classmate who is dairy free is this dairy free?

xana

I can't find any sprinkles compared to these creations. Please tell me where I can get them :)

Xana

So 2-3weeks in the fridge? Is freezer fine too? How long?

Alison

Hi, I want to make this for my daughter's unicorn themed birthday party. I want to be sure I get as close to the color purple in the photos as possible, it's so beautiful! There are so many different kinds and tints of purple coloring out there - would you share what brand/shade you used? Thank you!

Tammy

Hi, I followed directions exactly but the fudge isn’t solid, it’s still really soft and it sat in the fridge all night. Can you help me please

Kirsty

Hi, just made this, but it went horribly greasey, any ideas where I went wrong??

Ashley

Months ago I made this for my team at work and they loved it! Today I made it a bright green and put red and silver sprinkles and white snowflake sprinkles and I'm serving it as "Elf Fudge!" Such a great recipe! Merry Christmas!!

Vicki

Thanks for this. Just made a batch to give to my sons nursery teacher. Loads left over. I have a very sweet tooth and I found that a little does the trick. Love it!

Anna

Hi I was wondering do I use double cream or condensed milk for this recipe? thanks

Ancha

I have a question. Is the heavy cream actually heavy whipping cream or sweetened condensed milk!

Kallie

Made 4 different color batches today! Wish I could post a pic to show you. They’re super cute. Thank you! I’m having a tea party/cookie exchange and this is what I’m giving out. My guests are gonna flip! ????

Joe

This looks delicious, but is this really fudge? Fudge is a crystalline candy made when you bring the sugar, milk and butter to the soft ball stage after boiling off the excess water.

Jillie

This is very fun! I'm going to attempt this for my daughters 4th birthday. Thank you for your amazing ideas x

Izzy

I’m sorry, it’s me again, but I was wondering, did you make this recipe? And how did you become such a good cook?

Izzy

This is awesome, my class will love this. They love when I cook! Last time I made Oreo Bars and they ate them up! I am actually a student in the Sixth... I find this awesome! You are the best. Also, I just want to tell you, your work is amazing!

carolyn cartner

R.C

Is there a video tutorial

Tracy

wonderful for a unicorn themed party

Allie J.

This looks so amazingly awesome and delicious! PS... what you may not know about posting this was that by no longer comparing yourself to others to be ‘as good as’ or ‘better than’.... you finally became your unicorn, unique in your own right. That, after all, is what unicorns are all about! Thanks for the recipe, gonna try it this weekend!!!

Heather

Could this be made in candy molds?

Sian

How long, if giving as gift, can it be stored for please?

Ericka C.

Do you only place the parchment paper on the bottom of the pan? Do you place strips of parchment paper around the sides? Also, do you spray any non stick spray before piuring the fudge inti the pan? Thank you.

Sue

Doesn't this fudge need some sugar?
