Red Velvet Fudge


OK, I'm just gonna warn you all now... I have a slight obsession with fudge. So you'll probably be seeing a lot of it on this blog! Hopefully you won't mind though because fudge is DELICIOUS and so easy to make (for the most part)! The fudge I'm sharing with you today is my Red Velvet Cake Fudge. Yes, you read that right and yes, it is AMAZING. It literally tastes just like Red Velvet cake - in fudge form. How could you go wrong with that?!

As you can see this is a two-layer fudge. You have the Red Velvet Cake layer on the bottom and the Cream Cheese Frosting layer on top. Are you drooling yet? I know I am... so without further ado, here's what you need for this recipe:

For the Red Velvet Cake Fudge:

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.)
  • 2 cups dry red velvet cake mix
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow cream
For the Cream Cheese Frosting Fudge:
  • 1 cup canned cream cheese frosting
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp marshmallow cream
Method:
Line a 9x13 pan with tin foil and set aside. In a large sauce pan combine butter, 3 cups white chocolate chips and the can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Stir in the dry cake mix a little at a time until thoroughly combined. Stir in the marshmallow cream, stirring constantly to keep the fudge from sticking to the pan. Pour into the tin foil lined pan and put in the fridge.
In another sauce pan, melt the 1 cup of white chocolate chips over low heat. Once the chips are melted, stir in the frosting and marshmallow cream. Pour over the Red Velvet layer and smooth out. Chill for at least one hour before cutting. 

To conclude this post I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: this recipe works with ANY cake/frosting flavor combination! Such as Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting (which I've made and let me tell you it's to die for)! Let your imagination run wild with this one! Happy baking! xoxo, Jessica. ♥

Chocolate Peppermint Fudge

Alright I'm just gonna cut right to the chase with this one! Here's the recipe for my homemade Chocolate Peppermint Fudge! It's a two layer fudge that is delicious and SO easy to make! Happy baking! xoxo, Jessica.

For the Chocolate Fudge
  • 3 cups canned chocolate frosting
  • 3 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp marshmallow cream
For the Peppermint Fudge
  • 1 cup canned peppermint frosting (I used Duncan Hines Frosting Creations)
  • 1 cup peppermint chips (or white chocolate chips)
  • 1/4 cup marshmallow cream
  • 2-3 crushed candy canes
Method:
Before you start making your fudge, crush your candy canes and set them aside. Line a baking pan with tin foil. In a large sauce pan melt the chocolate chips, then stir in the chocolate frosting and marshmallow cream. Stir until all ingredients are combined. Pour into your lined baking pan and smooth out to make an even layer. Put the pan in the fridge to cool while you make the peppermint fudge. 
In a large sauce pan melt your peppermint (or white chocolate) chips, then stir in the peppermint frosting and marshmallow cream. Stir until all ingredients are combined. Pour into the baking pan on top of the chocolate fudge and smooth out to make and even layer. Sprinkle the crushed candy cane on top and very gently press into the fudge. Put the fudge back in the fridge for about an hour. Cut and enjoy!
