Ingredients
  

Fudge Base
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 oz unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 TBSP Salted Caramel Vodka optional, for additional indulgence
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 7 oz marshmallow crème
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup caramel bites or chopped caramels, divided
  • ½ cup Milk Chocolate Morsels with Caramel Filled DelightFulls optional, for extra flavor
  • 1 tsp gray sea salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the edges. Lightly coat with baking spray.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, heavy cream, and optional salted caramel vodka. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring continuously.
  3. Once bubbling, attach a candy thermometer. Lower heat slightly and simmer for 7-10 minutes until the thermometer reads 234°F (soft ball stage), stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and add the semisweet chocolate chips. Stir vigorously until melted and smooth.
  5. Mix in the vanilla extract and marshmallow crème until well blended.
Assembly
  1. Pour half of the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle in the mini marshmallows and half of the caramel pieces.
  2. Top with the remaining fudge mixture, then sprinkle with remaining caramel pieces and optional chocolate morsels. Finish with gray sea salt.
  3. Cool to room temperature, then lift out and cut into squares (about 24 pieces).

Notes

Serve with a cup of hot cocoa or milk. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks and enjoy during gatherings or as a sweet treat anytime.
