Let’s make some fudge!

What You’ll Need

For the Fudge:

2 cups white chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt

For the Caramel Swirl:

½ cup soft caramel candies (unwrapped)
2 tbsp heavy cream
¼ tsp flaky sea salt (optional, but delicious!)

Pro Tips

Use soft caramels for the best swirl! Hard caramels won’t melt smoothly.
Don’t overmix the swirl! Gently drag a knife through the caramel to create beautiful ribbons instead of blending everything together.
Let it set completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting to get clean, perfect squares.
For a salted caramel version, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before chilling.
Make it extra fancy! Drizzle melted white chocolate on top before serving.

Small saucepan (for caramel)
