Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl:
- Place the cinnamon baking chips in a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
- Stir until the chips are melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Make the Fudge Base:
- Line a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, heavy cream, pinch of salt, and ¼ cup of cinnamon sugar mix.
- Stir continuously until the mixture reaches a rolling boil.
- Once boiling, continue to stir and cook for 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in the white chocolate chips and marshmallow cream until the mixture is smooth and all components are fully melted and combined.
- Assemble the Fudge:
- Pour half of the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Drizzle half of the melted cinnamon chips over this layer.
- Pour the remaining fudge mixture on top, followed by the rest of the melted cinnamon chips.
- Use a knife to gently swirl the layers, creating a marbled effect.
- Set the Fudge:
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
- Optional Maple Drizzle:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar mix until smooth.
- Drizzle this mixture over the set fudge.
- Allow the drizzle to harden before cutting the fudge into squares.
