Leave one portion as is and add a few drops of red food coloring to the other portion to create a pink layer

Mix until the color is even

Pour the white fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula

Sprinkle half of the crushed candy canes over the white layer

Carefully pour the pink fudge mixture over the white layer and spread it evenly

Sprinkle the remaining crushed candy canes on top
