Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar mix (cinnamon mixed with granulated sugar)
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups white chocolate morsels
  • 7 ounces marshmallow cream (approximately one standard jar)

Drizzle

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 13×9-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over the sides for easy removal later. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Fudge Base: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, pinch of kosher salt, 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar mix, and 1 cup heavy cream. Stir continuously as the mixture heats, bringing it to a rolling boil. Maintain the boil while stirring for 4 minutes to cook the sugar properly, creating the right fudge texture.
  3. Add the Chocolate and Marshmallow: Remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly stir in the white chocolate morsels, marshmallow cream, and the additional 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar mix. Whisk vigorously—preferably with an electric mixer—until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined. This step may take a couple of minutes, so patience is key.
  4. Set the Fudge: Pour the smooth fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until the fudge is fully set and firm.
  5. Cut the Fudge: Once hardened, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Place it on a cutting board and cut into rounds using a 1 1/2-inch circle cookie cutter or slice into small bite-sized pieces as desired.
  6. Make and Apply the Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and heavy cream until smooth. Transfer the mixture into a zip-top plastic bag and snip a tiny corner for controlled drizzling. Drizzle the icing over the cut fudge pieces evenly. Immediately sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mix for extra flavor and decoration.
  7. Final Chill: Place the drizzled fudge back into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the icing to harden before serving.

Notes

  • Use a thermometer to ensure the sugar syrup reaches the right stage if unsure, aiming for around 234°F (112°C) for proper fudge consistency.
  • If you don’t have a cinnamon sugar mix on hand, combine finely ground cinnamon with granulated sugar to make your own.
  • The marshmallow cream adds smoothness and helps create a creamy texture—don’t substitute with marshmallows unless melted thoroughly.
  • Use white chocolate morsels rather than chips, as they melt better for smoother fudge.
  • Cut fudge into small pieces as it is quite rich and sweet.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
