Sweet and creamy homemade fudge with green food coloring for St. Patrick's Day!
Ingredients
1 ½sticks of butter
2 ½cupsgranulated sugar
⅔cuphalf and half
1tsp.vanilla
7ouncejar of marshmallow fluff
1cupwhite chocolate chips
regular green and neon green food coloring
St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles
Instructions
Melt 1 ½ sticks of butter in a pot over medium heat. Stir until they are melted.
Add sugar and half and half, and stir until smooth. Continue to stir often scraping the bottom until the mixture comes to a light boil.
Add the vanilla once the mixture begins to boil, and continue boiling lightly while stirring constantly for about 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes, take the pot off of the heat and mix in the white chocolate chips and marshmallow fluff until smooth.
Place the pot back on a burner on low heat stirring every once in a while.
While the mixture stays warm in the pot, pour small batches of it into individual bowls one at a time. Add food coloring to the batches to make different shades of green. Be sure to only work with one batch at a time and leave the rest in the pot on low heat to stay warm. If you try to do all of the batches of color at once, they will harden before you can layer them and will be less spreadable.
Line a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and top the paper with some cooking oil spray.
Pour the first batch of colored mixture into the pan and smooth out with a spoon or spatula.
Continue to make batches of different colors one at a time, and layer them on top of each other in the pan. Be sure to spread each color completely over the last, all of the way to the edge of the pan.
Once you have completed your layers, top off the fudge with some St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles and gently push them into the fudge if needed.
Place the fudge in a freezer until it has hardened and cooled completely (about 1 hr).
