Ingredients

  • 1 jar marshmallow cream 7 ounce
  • 1 bag white chocolate morsels 11 ounce
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • pinch of salt
  • 3 ½ cups Jelly Beans spring mix, divided
  • 1 Tablespoon green sanding sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining it with foil. Wrap foil around an empty fruit or vegetable can. Place in center of springform pan and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the marshmallow cream and white chocolate morsels. Set aside.
  3. In a large saucepan, add sugar, heavy cream, unsalted butter and salt. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring frequently. Once boiling, continue to boil for a full 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour over marshmallow mixture. Using an electric mixer, blend for about one minutes, until morsels are melted and mixture is smooth.
  4. Fold in the 1 1/2 cup jelly beans, until combined. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle with green sanding sugar. Using the remaining jelly beans, arrange into flowers on top of fudge. Once decorated, place fudge, uncovered, into the refrigerator for 4 hours, or overnight.
  5. When ready to serve, remove fudge from springform pan by releasing the latch. Unwrap the foil and place on a serving plate. You may need to use a butter knife to gently cut and remove the center can, wiggling it out gently. Fill center of ring with remaining jelly beans. Serve with a knife so guests can cut their own pieces! ENJOY.

Notes

  • If your fudge is sticking to the can after setting, use a butter knife to gently wiggle the can free.
  • I serve this fudge ring whole, with a knife on the table. That way everyone can cut off their own serving! As a bonus, this “cut-as-you-go” method helps keep the fudge fresh, soft and delicious.
  • Fudge rings like this one work great as a make ahead dessert! You can make it up to 3 days in advance and store in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
