Maple-Bacon Fudge
 
Yield: approximately 88 pieces
Ingredients
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup salted butter
  • 1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 (12-ounce) package white chocolate morsels
  • 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow crème
  • 3 tablespoons maple extract*
  • Garnish: crisp cooked bacon pieces
Instructions
  1. Line an 11x8-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Coat foil lightly with butter, or spray lightly with cooking spray.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Bring to a full boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Add white chocolate, stirring until melted. Add marshmallow crème and maple extract, stirring vigorously until well incorporated.
  4. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Let cool completely at room temperature.
  5. Using foil overhang as handles, lift from pan. Peel off and discard foil, and place on a cutting surface.
  6. Using a long sharp knife and pressing in a downward motion, cut into 1-inch squares.
  7. Serve immediately, or place in an airtight container with layers separated by waxed paper, and refrigerate until needed.
  8. Garnish each square with bacon pieces just before serving, if desired.
Notes
*To balance the white chocolate flavor, 3 tablespoons maple extract are needed.
