Ideal for holidays or anytime you crave a sweet, satisfying bite, this fudge is simple to prepare on the stovetop and requires no baking.

Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 package (11 oz) white chocolate chips
  • 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
  2. Heat Sugar Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and evaporated milk. Stir constantly to prevent burning and allow the mixture to come to a full boil.
  3. Boil Mixture: Once boiling, continue boiling the mixture for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent scorching.
  4. Melt White Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the white chocolate chips until they melt completely and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Add Remaining Ingredients: Incorporate the marshmallow creme, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the mixture, stirring until everything is fully combined and silky.
  6. Pour and Decorate: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the top and gently swirl it with a knife for an elegant marbled effect.
  7. Finish with Sea Salt: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt evenly over the top to enhance the salted caramel flavor.
  8. Set the Fudge: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for several hours or refrigerate it until firm and easy to cut.
  9. Serve: Once set, cut the fudge into approximately 36 small squares and serve your delicious homemade salted caramel fudge.

Notes

  • For a richer and more authentic caramel flavor, consider using homemade caramel sauce.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to 2 weeks.
