Harry Potter's Butterbeer Fudge
Description
Harry Potter's Butterbeer Fudge starts with melting butter, half and half, marshmallow creme, and sugars over medium heat, then bringing the mixture to a boil to set the texture. After boiling, rum and butter extracts and butterscotch chips are stirred in until smooth. The mixture is then poured into a prepared pan and chilled until firm. The fudge has a sweet, creamy butterscotch flavor profile with hints of rum and butter, achieving a smooth, rich consistency that holds its shape well when cut.
The fudge can be served as a rich dessert or holiday treat. Its buttery sweetness and mellow warmth from the extracts make it a comforting snack paired well with tea or coffee.
The recipe notes that adding marshmallow cream after boiling yields a softer fudge. Using half and half, which is equal parts whole milk and light cream, helps achieve the right texture. The fudge should be refrigerated to set properly before cutting and serving.
