Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • 11 ounce white chocolate chips
  • 1 jar marshmallow cream 7ounce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare an 8-inch square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Add white chocolate chips and marshmallow cream to a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a large, heavy saucepan, add butter, cream, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring frequently. Once boiling, continue to boil for a full 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and pour over white chocolate and marshmallow cream. Using an electric mixer, blend for about one minute, until chips or morsels are melted and mixture is smooth.
  5. Add any desired mix-ins and fold them in with a spoon, gently. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and refrigerate for two hours (or overnight), covered with a piece of plastic wrap.
  6. Once set, cut into bite sized pieces and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • You can also make white fudge ahead of time, even up to a couple of weeks in advance, making it the perfect candy to make when you’re busy entertaining.
  • Try replacing the heavy cream with eggnog and add a bit of nutmeg and rum flavoring to make Eggnog Fudge.
  • Stir in some of your favorite candies such as chopped gumdrops for Gumdrop Fudge, a swirl of caramels for Caramel Fudge, or crushed peppermint candies for Candy Cane Fudge. You can even have Butterfinger Fudge.
  • You can even mimic the flavors of other sweet treats with your white fudge! Try adding some vanilla wafers, sprinkles and mini marshmallows to make Birthday Cake Fudge.
