Caramelized White Chocolate Fudge

Step 1

Step 1 To make caramelized white chocolate

Step 2

Step 2 Preheat the oven to 250 F. Into a clean, 13 x 9” aluminum cake pan, break up the white chocolate into small pieces by hand (alternatively you can chop them before).

Step 3

Step 3 Bake for 15 minutes then, using a rubber spatula, smooth the chocolate around. Do this again after another 10 minutes, and then again 10 minutes later – you’ll want to do at least four turns in total to ensure even browning.

Step 4

Step 4 Spoon chocolate into a food processor and process on high for a few minutes. Scrape down, then process for another 3-5 minutes until no lumps remain. Spread it onto a parchment lined pan and let set at room temperature until hard.

Step 6

Step 6 Line a 13 x 9” sheet cake pan or an 8×8” square pan with parchment paper (the latter will yield taller, thicker pieces).

Step 7

Step 7 Break up the chocolate into small pieces and add it to a large, microwave safe bowl. Heat it for 30-60 seconds, until it starts to melt. Stir it and repeat the step.

Step 8

Step 8 Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir. Return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir until you have a smooth ‘ganache’ like texture. You can add salt and vanilla at this point if you like.

Step 9

Step 9 Pour it into the prepared pan and add candy if you like. Let set at room temperature for about 8 hours or in the fridge for two. Slice and wrap in wax paper. Store at room temperature.
