Maple-Bacon Fudge
Yield: approximately 88 pieces
Ingredients
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup salted butter
- 1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 (12-ounce) package white chocolate morsels
- 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow crème
- 3 tablespoons maple extract*
- Garnish: crisp cooked bacon pieces
Instructions
- Line an 11x8-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Coat foil lightly with butter, or spray lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Bring to a full boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add white chocolate, stirring until melted. Add marshmallow crème and maple extract, stirring vigorously until well incorporated.
- Pour mixture into prepared pan. Let cool completely at room temperature.
- Using foil overhang as handles, lift from pan. Peel off and discard foil, and place on a cutting surface.
- Using a long sharp knife and pressing in a downward motion, cut into 1-inch squares.
- Serve immediately, or place in an airtight container with layers separated by waxed paper, and refrigerate until needed.
- Garnish each square with bacon pieces just before serving, if desired.
Notes
*To balance the white chocolate flavor, 3 tablespoons maple extract are needed.
