Our daughter is ballet mad and one of her favourites to watch and listen to is the Nutcracker. To surprise her this year I've made her some delicious and extra sweet Sugar Plum Fairy Fudge to enjoy whilst we sit down and watch the show on TV. This easy fudge recipe is great for Christmas or a ballet party too!

Homemade Fudge

Fudge is one of my favourite sweet treats to make, this fudge recipe although easy does more closely follow my grandmother's traditional fudge.

But, unlike her recipes, this one doesn't need a candy thermometer to make it work so it's still relatively easy.

Unlike our other homemade fudge this one though does go back to simplicity with the use of heavy cream, butter and sugar to make it.

Flavouring Fudge

We love adding flavour to fudge - you can do it using extra's like the salt in our salted caramel recipe, adding extra's like the Oreo's or Fruit and Nut.

But this version uses candy cotton flavouring to make it extra sweet and delicious.

Be careful with the quantities as you measure as too much makes the fudge a bit too sweet. If you just want pretty vanilla fudge as you aren't a fan of cotton candy then you can leave this out but don't forget to colour and swirl to create the sugar plum effect.

An easy recipe for swirled cotton candy flavoured fudge ideal for those that love the Nutcracker to enjoy at Christmas time.

Ingredients

2 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup heavy cream
¾ cup unsalted butter
pinch of salt
11oz white chocolate morsels
7oz jar Marshmallow creme
1 Tbsp Cotton Candy candy flavoring
1 drop of Pink food coloring

Instructions

Line a 13 x 9" Baking Pan with parchment or greaseproof paper.
In a large saucepan add the butter, sugar, heavy cream, and salt.
Cook over medium to high heat stirring constantly until the mixture starts to boil.
Once it reached a boil remove from heat.
Add the white chocolate and marshmallow creme to your mixture.
Use a hand whisk or electric blender and stir until smooth (about 1-2 minutes).
Pour half of the mixture into the baking dish.
To remaining mixture, add in cotton candy flavoring, and pink food coloring.
Mix for 1 minute until smooth.
Pour the pink layer over first layer.
Use a knife, and swirl the two layers together.
Refrigerate overnight or at room temperature for a minimum of 4 hours.

Notes

You can store this homemade fudge in an airtight container for between 7 and 14 days. If you don't like cotton candy flavouring then bubble gum, plum or even leaving plain works really well too.
