Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 packet apple cider drink mix (about 0.74 oz)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Caramel
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it to ensure the fudge doesn’t stick once set.
- Melt Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, apple cider mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir constantly to prevent burning and to ensure everything melts smoothly and blends evenly.
- Add Vanilla: Once the mixture is smooth and fully melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Add Caramel Swirl: Gently fold in the caramel sauce to create a marbled effect without fully mixing it in, giving the fudge a beautiful swirl pattern.
- Pour and Decorate: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top evenly. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top and use a knife to lightly swirl it for decoration.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours or until it is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serve: Once firm, cut into 16 squares and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a more intense apple flavor, use spiced apple cider mix instead of regular.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top of the caramel drizzle before chilling to create a salted caramel variation.
- This fudge should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within a week for best taste.
