Ingredients
2 cups sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups white chocolate chips
7 ounces marshmallow cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dried apple slices, chopped
Instructions
-
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Set it aside.
-
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and apple cider. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, white chocolate chips, and marshmallow cream. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and the chocolate chips have melted.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped dried apple slices.
-
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
-
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or refrigerate for quicker setting. Once set, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Storage: Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze wrapped individual squares.
Variations:

Caramel Swirl: Drizzle caramel sauce over the fudge before setting.
