Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup butter (1 ½ sticks), cut into pieces
- ⅔ cup evaporated milk
- 1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon cotton candy flavoring
- Pink and blue gel food coloring
- ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Boil for 5 minutes, continuing to stir to prevent scorching. Use a candy thermometer to verify that the mixture reaches 235°F (soft-ball stage).
- Remove from heat and stir in the marshmallow creme and cotton candy flavoring until completely smooth.
- Divide the fudge mixture into two bowls. Tint one bowl pink and the other bowl blue with gel food coloring.
- Drop spoonfuls of each color into the prepared pan, alternating pink and blue.
- Swirl the colors gently with a knife or skewer for a marbled effect. Do not overmix.
- Sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles, if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares to serve.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use salted butter. Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
