My favorite kind of cake, red velvet, inspired me to create this fudge. If you'd like, spoon the candy mixture into paper-lined mini-muffin cups instead of spreading it into a pan. -Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, Colorado

Time 25m

Yield 36 pieces, depending on how large you cut them

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup white sugar
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 teaspoon orange zest, finely zested
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon red food coloring
candy, thermometer

Steps:

  • Line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly grease it. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the foam subsides, stir in the evaporated milk, brown sugar, white sugar, marshmallows, orange zest and salt. Bring the mixture to a rapid boil, stirring constantly. Continue boil and stir the mixture until it reaches soft ball stage on a candy thermometer (140 degrees), about 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and vigorously whisk in the milk chocolate, white chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract and optional red food coloring. Continue to whisk the mixture until all of the chocolate chips have melted and the mixture is smooth. You may need to set the saucepan on the hot stove top again for a minute or so to aid in completely melting the chocolate chips.
  • Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, pour the contents of the saucepan into the prepared baking dish. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
  • When you are ready to serve, cut the fudge into squares. There is no need to cut the fudge until you are ready to serve it.

Tips:

  • Always use a candy thermometer to ensure the fudge reaches the correct temperature. This will help prevent the fudge from being too soft or too hard.
  • Be sure to grease the pan before pouring in the fudge. This will help prevent the fudge from sticking.
  • Once the fudge has been poured into the pan, let it cool for a few minutes before refrigerating. This will help prevent the fudge from cracking.
  • If you want to add nuts or other mix-ins to the fudge, do so after it has been poured into the pan and has cooled for a few minutes. This will help prevent the mix-ins from sinking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
