Double the Love Fudge for your Valentine
Ingredients
- 2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 cup evaporated milk (Not light or fat-free)
- ½ cup butter
- 1 jar (7.5 ounces) marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup butterscotch morsels
- 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, divided
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
Instructions
- Have a 9-inch square pan ready, either lightly greased or lined with nonstick foil. Also have a 2-cup glass liquid measuring cup ready, or two 1 cups.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, evaporated milk, and butter. Bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. Boil for exactly10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. (Note: I have an empty saucepan ready right next to this one, for dividing the two layers).
- After boiling for 10 minutes and removing from heat, quickly stir in the marshmallow creme and vanilla until smooth. Pour 2 cups of this mixture into a 2-cup glass measuring cup, then pour into the empty saucepan. Quickly stir in the butterscotch morsels and ½ cup of the walnuts until smooth and morsels are melted, then pour into the prepared 9-inch square pan and even out.
- To the hot mixture left in the first pan, stir in the chocolate morsels and remaining ½ cup walnuts until chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the butterscotch layer.
- Let set until firm, then cut into desired size pieces. Keep fudge stored in a tin or other airtight container. Makes about 2-1/2 pounds fudge.
You had me at butterscotch AND chocolate!
Agree, Pat! It’s a great combo!
