This Buttered Rum Fudge is a rich, creamy treat with a warm, buttery rum flavor. Made with white chocolate and a touch of rum extract, it’s perfect for holiday gifting or enjoying as a festive dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3½ cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1½ teaspoons rum extract (or 2 tablespoons dark spiced rum for a stronger flavor)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Sanding sugar or crushed butterscotch candies for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan:

    • Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, allowing it to hang over the edges for easy removal. Lightly grease the foil with non-stick spray.

  2. Melt and Mix:

    • In a medium bowl, add the white chocolate chips and set aside.
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the sweetened condensed milk for about 90 seconds to make it easier to mix.
    • Pour the warm condensed milk over the white chocolate chips and let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.

  3. Add Butter and Rum Flavor:

    • Melt the butter in a small dish, then add it and the rum extract to the white chocolate mixture. Stir until fully incorporated and smooth.
    • Mix in ground cinnamon for a hint of spice.

  4. Pour and Set:

    • Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle sanding sugar or crushed butterscotch candy over the top for decoration.
    • Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.

  5. Slice and Serve:

    • Use the foil overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into squares.

Notes

  • Storage: Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  • Flavor Variations: For a more intense rum flavor, add a bit more rum extract or use dark spiced rum. For extra warmth, try adding a pinch of nutmeg.
  • Optional Garnish: Crushed butterscotch candy adds a nice texture and complements the rum flavor.
