Root Beer Fudge Recipe

Ingredients:

• - 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• - 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
• - 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk, divided
• - 1 teaspoon root beer extract
• - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• - Optional: 1/2 teaspoon root beer concentrate for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Brown Layer:

   - Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

   - In a medium saucepan, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, 1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

   - Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Place the dish in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the white layer.

2. Prepare the White Layer:

   - In a clean saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, the remaining sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

   - Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the root beer extract and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. For a more intense root beer flavor, add the root beer concentrate as well.

3. Pour the White Layer:

   - Carefully pour the root beer-flavored white chocolate mixture over the chilled chocolate layer, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface. Smooth the top with a spatula.

4. Chill and Set:

   - Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until both layers are firm. Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the dish and onto a cutting board.

5. Serve:

   - Cut the fudge into small squares, ensuring each piece has both layers. Enjoy the delightful contrast of the creamy white root beer layer and the rich chocolate layer in every bite.

Enjoy your Root Beer Fudge, a visually stunning and deliciously layered treat that combines the best of chocolate and root beer flavors. Perfect for sharing or enjoying as a special treat.
