Ingredients:

For the Fudge:

• 2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar mix
• Pinch of kosher salt
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 cups white chocolate morsels
• 7 oz jar marshmallow cream

For the Drizzle:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mix

Directions:

1. Prepare the Pan:

Before you start cooking the fudge, line a 13×9-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper, making sure the edges overhang for easy removal. Set the prepared dish aside.

2. Make the Fudge:

• In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, a pinch of kosher salt, 1/4 cup of the cinnamon sugar mix, and heavy cream.
• Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until it reaches a rolling boil. Once boiling, continue to stir constantly for 4 minutes to avoid any burning.
• After 4 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the white chocolate morsels and marshmallow cream. Also, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar.
• Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. You can use an electric mixer for ease during this step to ensure the fudge is lump-free.

3. Chill the Fudge:

• Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
• Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or until the fudge is firm and completely set.

4. Cut the Fudge:

• Once the fudge is fully set, remove it from the pan using the overhanging parchment paper.
• Place the fudge on a cutting board and either use a 1 1/2-inch circle cookie cutter to create cute circular fudge bites, or simply cut the fudge into small, bite-sized squares.

5. Make the Drizzle:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and drizzly.
• Transfer the icing to a small ziplock bag, snip off a tiny corner, and drizzle the icing over each piece of fudge.
• Immediately sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar over the icing to add a little extra flavor and texture.

6. Set the Drizzle:

• Place the fudge back in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, allowing the icing to set and harden.
• Once the icing is firm, the fudge is ready to serve. Enjoy this cinnamon-spiced treat with friends and family, or store in an airtight container for later!
