FAQ:
Can I use milk chocolate instead of white chocolate? Yes, you can swap out the white chocolate for milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips to create a different flavor profile. Keep in mind that milk chocolate is sweeter, so you may want to reduce the amount of caramel sauce or sweetened condensed milk slightly.
How long does this fudge take to set? The fudge will take about 4 hours to set in the fridge, but for the best results, it’s recommended to chill it overnight. This ensures the fudge has a firm texture and is easy to cut.
Can I make this fudge ahead of time? Absolutely! This fudge is a great make-ahead dessert. You can prepare it a day or two in advance, store it in the fridge, and serve it when needed.
How can I make this recipe more festive? Add colorful sprinkles or edible glitter to the top of the fudge before it sets for a fun, celebratory look. You can also cut the fudge into heart or star shapes for special occasions like birthdays or holidays.
What if I don’t have caramel sauce? If you don’t have caramel sauce, you can easily make your own by heating 1/2 cup of sugar in a saucepan until it melts and turns amber. Add 1/4 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly before using it in the fudge.
This White Chocolate and Caramel Fudge is a delightful dessert that offers the perfect combination of sweetness, richness, and creaminess. Whether enjoyed alone or shared with friends, this treat is sure to be a hit every time!
