Tuxedo Fudge
When I think tuxedos, I instantly think of elegance and richness. This tuxedo fudge definitely has both! The presentation is gorgeous, with the contrasting two-tone look (you’d never guess it’s so easy to achieve!), and the flavor is decadently rich and full. The sweetness of the white chocolate is tempered by the richer flavor of the semi-sweet layer to make a dessert that is just about as close to perfection as possible.
What else do I like about this fudge? It’s pretty much no-fail. There’s no candy thermometer, no fancy equipment – just you, a couple of mixing bowls, and a sauce pan. I also like that you can take the idea and run with it. The two layers are made using the same base, you just melt in different kinds of chocolate chips. Since that’s the case, what’s to stop you from melting in peanut butter chips? Or dark chocolate? Nothing. That’s what. Of course, if you chose the peanut butter option, you would be losing the tuxedo coloring, but then you could call it something else. Like Reeses fudge. Hmmmm. I see no downside to this…
Anyway, I’m sure I’ve sold you by now, so here’s the recipe:
