Ingredients for Enchanted Forest Fantasy Fudge

Granulated sugar is the base of our fudge, providing sweetness and structure. Unsalted butter adds richness and a smooth texture. Evaporated milk helps achieve the creamy consistency we’re after. Semi-sweet chocolate chips provide the chocolatey backbone, ensuring a deep, luscious flavor. Marshmallow crème gives the fudge its soft, chewy texture. Vanilla extract enhances all the other flavors with a hint of warmth. Chopped pecans add a nutty crunch, while a pinch of sea salt balances the sweetness. A few drops of green food coloring transform our fudge into a mystical forest green. Finally, gold edible glitter adds that enchanting touch to make this fudge truly magical.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to ensure even heat distribution and prevent scorching.
  • For a deeper green color, add more food coloring drop by drop until you reach the desired shade.
  • If you prefer a softer fudge, reduce the boiling time by 30 seconds.
  • Cooling time can be reduced by placing the fudge in the refrigerator, but it may alter the texture slightly.

Enchanted Forest Fantasy Fudge Recipe Walkthrough

Start by lining an 8x8 inch pan with aluminum foil and lightly greasing it with a bit of butter. This step ensures easy removal later, so don’t skip it. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid any sugar sticking and burning. Once you see it boiling, set a timer and continue stirring for exactly 5 minutes. This timing is key to getting the right fudge texture.

Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Keep stirring until they’re completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Now, add the marshmallow crème, vanilla extract, and a few drops of green food coloring. Stir until everything is well combined and you have a lovely green chocolate mix. Fold in the chopped pecans and sea salt to distribute them evenly throughout the fudge.

Pour the mixture into your prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly. Now for the fun part — sprinkle the top with gold edible glitter. It’s like adding pixie dust! Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 4 hours or until it’s completely firm. Once set, lift the fudge out using the foil, cut it into squares, and get ready to serve your enchanted creation.
