Ingredients
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 packets powdered apple cider mix
3 cups high-quality white chocolate chips
1/2 cup caramel bits
1.5 tbsp heavy cream (for caramel)
Instructions
Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch square pan with parchment paper or foil with an overhang for easy removal.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the butter, mini marshmallows, granulated sugar, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and the apple cider mix.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips until fully melted and incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
In a small bowl, melt the caramel bits with 1.5 tbsp of heavy cream until smooth.
Drizzle the melted caramel over the fudge.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until completely set before slicing into squares.
Notes
Ensure you use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best mouthfeel.
You can fold in chopped pecans or dried cranberries for added texture.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to two weeks.
