Easy Red Velvet Fudge

Hi Everyone, Easy. Red. Velvet. Fudge. It's the stuff that my dreams were made of until I finally decided to come up with a recipe to make those dreams a reality.

My Mother-in-Law loves red velvet-anything and so this recipe is partly inspired by her love for red velvet foods and also my Chocolate Walnut Fudge recipe.

This Easy Red Velvet Fudge recipe is so smooth because it has mini marshmallows, butter and white chocolate.

It has full, rich flavor due to the butter and the combination of white chocolate, vanilla and cocoa powder.

Yes, the combination of white chocolate and cocoa powder is a deliberate combination on my part.

Could you get a brighter red without the cocoa powder, sure but you would be missing out on that rich, chocolate flavor.

Ingredients for Easy Red Velvet Fudge

• 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the 8″ x 8″ inch pan
• 3 cups of mini marshmallows
• 1 cup sugar (I use organic pure cane sugar and it works very well)
• ½ cup heavy cream (heavy whipping cream works as well)
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (use the best quality you can find, it does make a difference)
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 12 ounces white chocolate chip morsels (use the best quality you can find, it does make a difference)
• the desired amount of red gel food dye (I use 38-40 drops)
• 1 tablespoon or more of red sugar sprinkles

Kitchen Tools Needed for Easy Red Velvet Fudge

• 8″x 8″ baking pan
• parchment paper
• cookie sheet
• a sharp knife
• cutting board
• baking spatula
• wooden spoon
• mason jars or boxes, if you are gift-giving
• decorative and festive ribbon, if you are gift-giving (I suggest red velvet ribbon!)

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the 8 x 8-inch pan and parchment paper
• 3 cups of mini marshmallows
• 1 cup sugar, (I use organic pure cane sugar and it works very well)
• ½ cup heavy cream, (heavy whipping cream works as well)
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, (use the best quality you can find, it does make a difference)
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 12 ounces white chocolate chip morsels, (use the best quality you can find, it does make a difference)
• the desired amount of red gel food dye, (I use 38-40 drops)
• 1 tablespoon or more of red sugar sprinkles

Instructions

1. Grease an 8 x 8-inch pan with butter and then line with 2 pieces of parchment paper that is crisscrossed, leaving an overhang. Butter the paper and set aside the pan. This step helps enable you to remove the formed fudge from the pan with ease later on.
2. Using a medium or large saucepan over low-medium heat, add 4 tablespoons of butter, 3 cups mini marshmallows, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir gently until the mini marshmallows are melted, this may take 8-10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat, add ½ teaspoon vanilla, 12 ounces of white chocolate chip morsels, and desired amount of red gel food dye (about 38 drops), stir until the chocolate is fully melted and everything is combined. Pour into prepared 8" x 8" pan. Allow cooling for 30 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon or more of red sugar sprinkles over the top 15 minutes into cooling. Cover and transfer to refrigerator and set for 1 hour.
4. When the fudge is completely set, use the overhang of the parchment paper to gently lift the fudge onto a cutting board to cut for serving. Package in jars or boxes if you are gift-giving and don't forget the red velvet ribbon! Enjoy!
