How to make fudge with marshmallow fluff?

• Chocolate: Chop it finely. If using white chips, skip this step. Set it aside.
• Prepare food coloring: Combine the red food coloring with the strawberry extract (or vodka) in a small bowl. If using vanilla extract, leave out the vanilla extract used later in the recipe. Stir until the gel dissolves evenly. Set aside.

• Cook: Combine sugar, butter cubes, and evaporated milk in a heavy saucepan. Slowly bring to a boil over medium-low heat while stirring often (1).
• Once it comes to a rolling boil, check the temperature frequently with the candy thermometer. Remove the pan from the heat as soon as the temperature reaches 234 degrees Fahrenheit/ 112 degrees Celsius (2).

• Stir in the chopped chocolate (or white chocolate chips), marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth (3).

• Make the swirls: Drop small amounts of the food coloring mix all over the fudge mixture (4).
• Using a knife or a fork, create a swirled pattern by carefully going through the fudge mixture back and forth (5). Don't overdo it, or the fudge will turn pink instead of nicely patterned.

• Pour the fudge mixture into a square pan lined with oiled aluminum foil (6).
• If you want to make heart-shaped fudge, place small dollops of it in small silicone molds.
• Let cool for a while at room temperature, then transfer to the fridge until completely set (7).

• Cut: Remove the sweet strawberry fudge from the baking pan and cut it into small pieces (8), or remove it from the silicon molds by pressing the fudge out from underneath (9).

• Cook: Place the sugar, cubed butter, and evaporated milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil on medium-low heat, stirring often. Once it boils, stir continuously and start checking the temperature with a candy thermometer. Once the mixture reaches 234 degrees Fahrenheit/ 112 degrees Celsius, remove the pan from the heat.

  400 g sugar/ 2 cups/ 14 oz + 150 g unsalted butter/ scant ⅔ cup/ 5.5 oz + 150 g evaporated milk/ ⅔ cup
• Stir in the white chocolate, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth.

• Make swirls: Drop small amounts of the food coloring mixture all over the fudge mixture. Using a knife or a fork, create a swirled pattern by carefully going through the fudge mixture back and forth. Don't overdo it, or the fudge will turn completely pink.
• Let set: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan or place small dollops of it in heart-shaped (or any other shape) silicone molds. Let cool for a while, then transfer to the fridge until completely set.
• Cut: Remove from the baking dish and cut into small squares or remove from the silicon molds by pressing the fudge out from underneath.
• Store: The strawberry fudge keeps for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator. To stop it from drying out, you should wrap it in wax paper and place it in an airtight container.

Notes

1. Gel coloring is best; it is very concentrated and doesn’t add too much moisture to the mixture.
2. If strawberry essence is unavailable, use vodka or pure vanilla extract. If using vanilla extract, leave out the vanilla extract needed later in the recipe. Using vanilla extract will reduce the strawberry flavor; the strawberry marshmallow fluff is not enough for an intense strawberry flavor unless you use the strawberry essence. However, pink vanilla fudge is also delicious.
3. Leave out if using vanilla extract to dissolve the food gel coloring.
