1. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until the mixture forms a smooth, spreadable consistency. Set aside.

2. Make the Fudge Base: Place white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Add vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the melted mixture and stir well.

3. Layer the Fudge: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal. Pour half of the fudge mixture into the dish and spread it evenly. Drizzle the cinnamon swirl mixture over the top of the fudge and use a toothpick or a knife to create swirls. Pour the remaining half of the fudge over the swirl and smooth out the top.

4. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until it is firm. Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut into squares.

5. Drizzle the Icing: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the cut fudge pieces before serving for that authentic cinnamon roll touch.

Tips for the Perfect Cinnamon Roll Fudge:

• Use High-Quality White Chocolate: For the creamiest texture and the best flavor, opt for good-quality white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate.
• Adjust Cinnamon to Taste: If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to add a bit more ground cinnamon to the fudge base or the swirl mixture.
• Storage: Keep your fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months for longer storage—just let it thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

1. Can I make this fudge ahead of time? Yes, absolutely! This cinnamon roll fudge can be made up to a week in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It’s perfect for making ahead for holiday gatherings or special occasions.

2. Can I use a different type of chocolate for the fudge base? While white chocolate provides the classic sweet, creamy base for this recipe, you can experiment with milk or dark chocolate if you prefer a different flavor profile. Keep in mind that changing the type of chocolate may alter the overall taste and sweetness of the fudge.

3. How can I adjust the cinnamon flavor? If you love a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the amount of ground cinnamon in the fudge base or the cinnamon swirl mixture. For a more subtle flavor, reduce the cinnamon slightly and taste as you go. This allows you to customize the level of spice to your liking.

4. Can I add other mix-ins or toppings to the fudge? Yes! You can customize this recipe by adding ingredients like chopped pecans, walnuts, or even mini chocolate chips to the fudge base. You could also sprinkle crushed cinnamon sugar on top before the icing for an extra touch of sweetness and texture. Just make sure any additions don’t overwhelm the base flavors of the cinnamon roll fudge.
