Fudge
- Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Combine the butter, heavy cream, marshmallows, Nature’s Flavors SweetenFX Sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Stir all of the ingredients together on medium heat.
- Once the mixture comes to a boil, stir in Nature’s Flavors Organic Vanilla Extract and Nature’s Flavors Organic Strawberry Extract. Keep stirring until everything is well combined.
- Turn off the heat and add in the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate chips completely melt.
- Carefully pour a small and even layer of fudge onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Scatter pieces of shortbread throughout that first layer. Then add another layer of fudge and another layer of shortbread. Repeat this process until all the fudge is gone.
- We added red sprinkles to really get us into that Valentine’s Day spirit!
- Allow the fudge to set for about 5 to 6 hours.
- Enjoy your Chocolate Strawberry Fudge!
