How to Make Red Velvet Swirl Fudge

Ingredients

1. Granulated Sugar (3 cups): The sweet backbone of your fudge. This is what’s gonna make it irresistible.
2. Unsalted Butter (¾ cup): Adds that creamy, melt-in-your-mouth feel. Make sure it’s unsalted so you can control the flavor.
3. Half-and-Half Cream (⅔ cup): This is half milk, half cream and it’s all about adding richness and smoothness to your fudge.
4. White Chocolate Chips (2 cups): The key to your fudge’s creamy texture and sweet flavor.
5. Marshmallow Crème (7-ounce jar): This adds fluffiness and a hint of vanilla. It also helps your fudge set.
6. Vanilla Extract (2 teaspoons): A splash of this brings all the other flavors together.
7. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (1 cup): Adds the chocolatey element to your red swirls.
8. Red Food Coloring (3 tablespoons): Gives the fudge its eye-catching red swirls. Make sure it’s food-grade!

Tools:

1. 9×9-inch Baking Pan: Where your fudge will take shape. This size is perfect for getting the thickness just right.
2. Parchment Paper: You’ll line your baking pan with this so you can easily lift out the fudge later.
3. Large Saucepan: This is where the magic happens. You’ll mix most of your ingredients here.
4. Wooden Spoon or Silicone Spatula: To stir your fudge mixture. Either works, as long as it’s sturdy.
5. Separate Bowls: For holding the chocolate chips and food coloring mixture, and for the white chocolate and marshmallow crème.
6. Small Knife: For making those captivating swirl patterns in the fudge.
7. Measuring Cups and Spoons: You’ll need these to make sure you’re using the right amount of each ingredient.

Tips and Tricks to Make Red Velvet Swirl Fudge

1. Quality Ingredients: Even though we’re using everyday stuff, go for the best quality you can afford. It makes a difference, trust me.
2. Room Temperature Butter: Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier and more even melting.
3. Stir, Don’t Whisk: Use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to stir the mixture. Whisking can introduce too many air bubbles, and we don’t want that.
4. Low and Slow: Keep your stovetop on medium to low heat to prevent burning or quick setting of the fudge mixture.
5. Test for Doneness: Drop a tiny amount of the sugar and butter mixture into cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it’s ready.
6. Pre-mix Red Swirls: Have your red food coloring and chocolate chips mixed and ready to go before you start cooking. That way, you can add it in quickly when it’s time.
7. Swift Swirls: Once you pour the two mixtures into your pan, act quickly to get your swirls in. Fudge starts to set as it cools.
8. Non-Stick Magic: A lining of parchment paper in the pan will save you a lot of grief when it’s time to lift the fudge out.
9. Cutting Strategy: Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares. Wipe the blade clean between cuts for more precise lines.
10. Storage Smarts: Store your fudge in an airtight container to keep it fresh. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
11. Freeze for Later: Yes, you can freeze fudge! Just wrap it well in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before putting it in an airtight container.
12. Personal Touch: Feel free to add some nuts or dried fruits if you want to give the fudge your own twist. Just keep the additions to about a half cup to maintain the fudge’s texture.
