SALTED DARK CHOCOLATE BOURBON FUDGE

Please See Other Recipes

This Salted Dark Chocolate Bourbon Fudge is one of those creations where I could just let the name and photos speak for themselves and not write a single word.  Because, truly, there are no words for how absolutely delicious this fudge is!

If you're a bourbon fan ... which I am ... Salted Dark Chocolate Bourbon fudge is a little bite of bourbon heaven.

I made three 'spirited' fudges this week and brought some of each to my Mom to taste test ...

I lined them up with this bourbon one last.

First, let me just say, she liked all three of them.  But she loved  this bourbon one.  {As do I.}

Though she liked all three, it was really fun to watch her reaction as she tasted.  She picked up the first one ... popped it in her mouth ... and said, "That's good."

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 8 T. (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/2 c. whole milk
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 13 large marshmallows, torn in half
• 1 c. Ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate chips {just over 1/2 of a 10 oz. package}
• 1 1/4 c. confectioners sugar
• 1/4 c. + 2 T. bourbon
• 1/4 tsp. fleur de sel {or to taste ... I like it just lightly sprinkled}

Directions

1. Line a 9x9" pan, bottom and sides, with foil. Rub foil with butter or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners sugar and bourbon. Set aside.
3. Place granulated sugar, butter, and milk in a large pot. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue stirring and boil for 3 minutes ~ this is important for the fudge to set up properly, so time it! {Make sure to stir constantly ... and to keep the mixture at a full rolling boil. If the mixture froths up too much, turn the heat down just a little bit. Also, I sometimes lift the pot off the burner, still stirring, for just a second or two.}
