    Turn a simple two-ingredient recipe into a treat that will have your party guests on their feet cheering. These Fudge Football Jerseys are quick and easy to make and can be decorated in your favorite team's colors using candy melts.

    Make 2-Ingredient Fudge Football Jerseys to cheer on your favorite football team by simply decorating your treats using your team's colors.

    Do you have a favorite football team?

    I have to admit that I don't follow football much, but last year when my nephew was a senior on the high school football team, I found myself jumping up and down screaming at the top of my lungs when he tackled the star quarterback in the last few minutes of a big game. I don't consider myself a big sports fan, but I was all in that night.

    Typically I show my support for the team by making fun treats.

    Make 2-Ingredient Fudge Football Jerseys to cheer on your favorite football team by simply decorating your treats using your team's colors.

    Over the years here at Hungry Happenings I've shared dozens of fun food ideas for football season. As the years have gone by I have found that it's become increasingly difficult to come up with unique new ideas to share with you. There is just so much online these days. But, I think I rose to the challenge and created something I've never seen before.

    I used my go-to, super simple, 2-ingredient fudge recipe using Wilton Candy Melts and sweetened condensed milk to make these fun football jerseys. The fudge is so easy to make.

    2-ingredient fudge is super easy to make using Wilton Candy Melts and sweetened condensed milk.

    To make this recipe even easier, I found a way to make it in the microwave. Just stir the Wilton Candy Melts with some sweetened condensed milk and heat for two, short, 30-second bursts of power, and the fudge comes together quickly.

    This recipe makes a luxuriously smooth and creamy fudge and it seriously could not be easier.

    You can find items needed to make these fudge football jerseys on Amazon.com (commission earned for sales at no extra cost to you).

    Make Fudge Football Jerseys using a t-shirt cookie cutter.

    Being our local high school football team's colors are blue and white and the team has home and away game jerseys in opposite colors, I decided to make both white jerseys with blue numbers and blue jerseys with white numbers. You can use the Candy Melts that match your team colors to make your jerseys.

    I divided the can of sweetened condensed milk in half and made one batch of white fudge and one batch of blue. If you make one full batch using one color of candy melts then either use two 8-inch square pans or one 9x13-inch pan. Just note that you'll get fewer shirts using the 9x13 pan and they will be  a bit thicker.

    In order to get nice cuts, be sure to chill your fudge for at least 30 minutes, then remove it and flip it over onto a silicone baking mat or another clean piece of parchment paper and peel off the top paper then pop it in the freezer for 10 more minutes to allow the fudge to firm up even further.

    Once it's firm, use a t-shirt cookie cutter to cut out as many jerseys as you can from each batch of fudge. I got 9 from one 8-inch square, then was able to knead the scraps together, refrigerate the fudge until firm again, roll it out, and cut more. I got 12 jerseys from each batch for a total of 24.

    Decorate fudge football jerseys using candy melts.

    To decorate the fudge football jerseys, pour the candy melts into a zip top bag, snip off one tip, and pipe stripes, a collar, and a number onto each.

    If your team's jerseys have a different look to them, decorate them accordingly.

    Let the candy dry before packaging or stacking them.

    Recipe Notes

    This recipe will make 18 jerseys cut from the two 8-inch squares of fudge. You will have extra fudge once these are all cut. You can knead the fudge scraps together and then flatten them out in order to cut more jerseys or just enjoy a snack. You will get about 6 more jerseys cut from the kneaded scraps. The calories are based on 24 jerseys.
