Instructions
Creating the Ultimate Caramel Fudge Bliss involves a few simple steps. Follow this guide to achieve the best results:
- Prepare Your Pan
Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides to easily lift the fudge out once set. - Combine the Sugars and Cream
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugars dissolve completely. - Bring to a Boil
Once the mixture is smooth, increase the heat to medium-high and bring it to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes without stirring to reach the desired consistency. - Incorporate the Chocolate
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the white chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. - Layer the Caramel Sauce
Pour half of the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly and drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the top. Use a knife or spatula to gently swirl the caramel into the fudge. - Add Remaining Fudge and Caramel
Pour the remaining fudge mixture over the initial layer and repeat the swirling process with the rest of the caramel sauce. For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts on top, if desired. - Chill and Set
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm enough to cut into squares. - Cut and Serve
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into small squares and serve to delight your guests.
