For the Fudge:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 ounces unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 7 ounces marshmallow crรจme
- 3 tablespoons vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
For the Topping:
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line an 8ร8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cook the Fudge Base:
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Once boiling, continue to cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235-240ยฐF or 113-116ยฐC) on a candy thermometer.
- Add Chocolate and Marshmallow:
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the white chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
- Add the marshmallow crรจme and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Divide and Flavor the Mixture:
- Pour about โ of the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- To the remaining โ of the mixture in the saucepan, add the unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir until fully incorporated to create the chocolate layer.
- Layer and Swirl:
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the vanilla layer in the baking dish.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the two layers together, creating a marbled effect.
- Set the Fudge:
- Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate for an additional hour, or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Prepare the Chocolate Topping:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil.
- Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Let the melted chocolate cool slightly for about 15 minutes.
- Dip the Fudge Squares:
- Lift the set fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang and place it on a cutting board.
- Cut the fudge into small squares of your desired size.
- Dip the top of each fudge square into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Place the dipped squares on a parchment-lined tray, chocolate side up.
- Set and Serve:
- Allow the chocolate topping to set completely at room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Once the chocolate is firm, the fudge is ready to serve.
Notes
- For best results, use a candy thermometer to ensure the fudge reaches the correct temperature.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
