It’s that time again. Time for our Annual Fudge Throwdown at work. I love this day. There’s plates and plates of different kinds of fudge in the staff room. It’s like I died and went to heaven! Well, if Heaven is work, which I really hope it’s not. So I guess it’s not Heaven, just a really good day at work. We’ll say that.
I usually make two different kinds of fudge to “enter”. Yep, it’s a contest. Guess who wins almost every year? Yep, this gal. ‘Cause my kids and I love fudge. This year I chose Jocelyn’s Mint Brownie Swirl Fudge to make. It looked wonderful. And, as always, Jocelyn didn’t let me down.
Not only does this fudge taste delicious, it’s so cool looking.
I also made Brigadiero (Brasilian Fudge). It’s one of my favorites and tastes more like a creamy truffle than fudge. The recipe is so easy and you can add a touch of the holiday but rolling it in colored sprinkles.
Ingredients
- 2 c. white chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 2/3 c. sweetened condensed milk
- 1 c. marshmallow cream
- 1 c. white chocolate chips
- 1/2 Tbsp. butter
- 1/3 c. sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 c. marshmallow cream
- 1/2 c. dry brownie mix
- 1/2 c. andes mint chips
Instructions
- Spray an 8x8 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Make sure you have flaps sticking up so you can use them to lift out the cooled fudge.
- In a medium sized saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, butter, salt, and sweetened condensed milk for the white chocolate layer. Stir until melted and smooth. Add the marshmallow cream and stir until creamy. Keep over low heat, stirring occasionally.
- In a different saucepan, combine the white chips, butter, salt, and condensed milk from the mint brownie layer. Stir until melted and smooth. Stir in the marshmallow cream, brownie mix, and mint chips. Stir until creamy, about a minute or two so the brownie mix can dissolve and the cream and chips can melt.
- Spoon half of the white chocolate fudge into the prepared pan. Drop half of the brownie fudge by spoonfuls in the vanilla fudge. Swirl gently. Carefully spoon the rest of the white chocolate fudge on top. Drop the rest of the mint fudge by spoonfuls into the vanilla fudge. Swirl gently again. Refrigerate until set. Remove from the pan by gently lifting out the parchment. Let it come to room temperature before cutting into squares. Store in an air tight container on the counter.
They actually taste like a brownie and creamy white chocolate fudge! The bet of both worlds.
Our White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge has won a couple of years now. It’s amazing!!!
I personally loved our Samoa Fudge, but it only took second place last year.
You can never go wrong with Root Beer Float Fudge. YUM!
I thought about making our Pumpkin Spice Fudge again for the Throwdown. It was delicious.
