There’s just something about the rich chocolate and creamy caramel that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, wouldn’t you agree? Making 100 Grand Fudge is not just about satisfying a sweet tooth; it’s about sharing and indulging with those you love. It’s like a sweet little hug in each piece that you cut from the loaf.

Everything You Need for 100 Grand Fudge

When it comes to crafting the perfect 100 Grand Fudge, the ingredients are truly what make this dessert shine. Each element complements the others beautifully, resulting in a treat that’s both rich and satisfying. The key players here are sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and caramel bits. They work together to create a luscious texture and unforgettable flavor that brings back fond memories.

• 1 can sweetened condensed milk – This is the heart of the fudge, adding the creamy sweetness that binds the flavors together.
• 3 cups milk chocolate chips – Rich and smooth, these chips melt beautifully, creating a decadent chocolate layer.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Just a hint of vanilla heightens the overall flavor experience.
• Pinch of salt – A little salt balances the sweetness perfectly, enhancing the fudge’s overall taste.
• ¾ cup Rice Krispies – These add a delightful crunch to the fudgy texture, offering a fun contrast.
• 1 cup caramel bits – Melting these adds a gooey layer of caramel that’s simply irresistible.
• 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons heavy cream – This cream helps achieve the perfect consistency for the melted caramel.

Step by Step Instructions for 100 Grand Fudge

Making 100 Grand Fudge is a delightful experience, and I promise you’ll enjoy every moment in the kitchen. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of creating this indulgent treat. Remember, patience is key, especially while waiting for it to set!

1. First, prepare your workspace by lining a loaf pan with foil and spray it with cooking spray. This ensures that your fudge won’t stick and will come out easily later.
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and heavy cream. Microwave on HIGH for 1 and a half minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the mixture is melted and smooth. If necessary, it may take up to 2 minutes total. Watch closely so it doesn’t overheat!
3. While the caramel is melting, take a medium saucepan and add the milk chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over low heat, stirring continuously until everything is melted and well combined. The mixture should be glossy and smooth.
4. Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Then, gently fold in the Rice Krispies until everything is fully combined.
5. Now, it’s time to form the layers! With the heat still on low, pour half of the chocolate fudge mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Spread it evenly and then carefully pour the melted caramel over this layer.
6. Take the remaining chocolate fudge mixture and pour it over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly to cover the caramel completely. Turn off the burner and ensure everything is well layered.
7. Let the fudge sit at room temperature for a few minutes, allowing it to settle. Once slightly cooled, transfer the pan to the refrigerator to cool completely; this should take about 2 hours.
8. After it’s set, carefully remove the fudge from the pan by lifting the foil. Cut into squares and admire your beautiful creation. The layers should be distinct, with rich chocolate topped by gooey caramel.
9. Finally, savor each piece of your homemade 100 Grand Fudge. Share it with family or friends, or keep it all to yourself—no judgments here!

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 can sweetened condensed milk I use fat-free, you know, ‘cuz that makes sense
• 3 cups milk chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• ¾ cup Rice Krispies
• 1 cup caramel bits from an 11 ounce package
• 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons heavy cream

Equipment

• Frying Pan
• Wooden Spoon
• Mixing Bowl

Method

 

1. First, grow yourself some extra arms. (Just kidding, just be prepared to work fast.) Line a loaf pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Add caramel bits and heavy cream to a small, microwaveable bowl. Heat for 1 and a half minutes on HIGH, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. (It may take up to 2 minutes.)
3. While your caramel is melting, add your chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk to a medium saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring until melted together. Add vanilla and Rice Krispies and stir to combine.
4. Here’s where it gets tricky. Leave the heat on very low. Add half the chocolate fudge mixture to the loaf pan (and then return the rest to the stovetop). Spread the mixture in the loaf pan and spread the melted caramel on the top.
5. Give the fudge mixture that’s left in the pan a quick stir, then pour and spread over the top of the caramel. Don’t forget to turn off your burner (not that I forgot that or anything…)
6. Let sit for a few minutes on the counter; then transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely before cutting. Devour responsibly.
