Calories per serving: 143kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups sugar
- ¼ cup (56.75 g) unsalted butter
- 12 oz (340.2 g) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 tablespoon (1 tablespoon) Bourbon flavoring
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon, Vietnamese preferred
- 1 teaspoon vanilla, imitation preferred
- 4 oz (226.8 g) candied fruit
- 7 oz (100 g) marshmallow creme
- 12 oz (340.2 g) white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Have ready a 9x12 inch pan lined with parchment paper.
- Put a large saucepan on the stove. Add the sugar.
- Add the butter.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk.
- Cook on low heat until the mixture comes to a boil, stirring frequently. Be careful to not let the mixture burn.
- Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Make sure to stir to the bottom to avoid hot spots and burning.
- Take the pan off the flame. Put the bourbon flavoring, vanilla and spices in and stir.
- Add the candied fruit and stir. Put the pan back on low heat and stir until the mixture bubbles. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the marshmallow creme and stir. Put the pan back on the flame, and stir constantly until all the marshmallows have melted. You should not have any streaks of white.
- Remove the pan from the flame. Add the chips to the pan, slowly, stirring all the while.
- Lower the flame and put the pan back on the flame. Stir briskly until all the chocolate is melted and there are no white streaks. Remove the pot from the flame.
- Pour the lot into the prepared pan.
- Allow to cool over night.
- Using the sides of the parchment paper, remove the candy from the pan. Carefully peel the parchment paper from the sides and bottom, but leave the block on the paper - it's just easier to cut it that way.
- Cut into squares and arrange on a nice serving dish or tins to give as gifts.
Notes
You may use a 9x12-inch pan, but your fudge will be thinner.
