Fudge Ingredients
- 2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 7 ounce jar Marshmallow Cream
- 12 ounces Milk Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9-inch square dish with parchment paper and set it aside to ensure easy removal of the fudge later.
- Combine Chocolate and Marshmallow: In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and marshmallow cream, then set aside while you prepare the sugar mixture.
- Heat Sugar Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy whipping cream. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to boil.
- Boil the Mixture: Allow the mixture to continue boiling at a rolling boil for 3 to 4 minutes while stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Add Baileys Irish Cream: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Baileys Irish Cream thoroughly.
- Combine with Chocolate Mixture: Pour the hot sugar and cream mixture over the chocolate chips and marshmallow cream in the mixing bowl.
- Mix Until Creamy: Using an electric mixer, beat the combined ingredients for 1 to 2 minutes until the chocolate chips melt completely and the fudge mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Allow it to set at room temperature for about 4 hours or overnight until firm.
