Black And White Pretzel Fudge Food

EASY SALTED PRETZEL CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• Line a 20cmx20cm dish with parchment/baking paper. (Any size from around 20-25cm would work, your fudge will just be slightly thinner.)
• Melt together the milk chocolate, condensed milk and butter over low heat.
• Sift together the icing sugar and cocoa powder.
• When the chocolate mixture is smooth, beat in the icing sugar mix until you have a smooth, thick dough-like mixture.
• Transfer to the prepared dish and smooth the top. Press the pretzels into the fudge and sprinkle with salt (if using).
• Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set before slicing into squares.
• Place in a airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to a week.

BLACK AND WHITE FUDGE

Steps:

• Butter an 8-inch square pan.
• Lightly dust work surface with powdered sugar. Fold marzipan in half and press into a flat square. Roll into a 9" x 9" square. Using the bottom of the pan as a template, cut out square of marzipan to match pan dimensions. (Don't worry if it's not perfect.) Set aside.
• In a double boiler (or in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water) combine white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup condensed milk and 3 tablespoons butter.
• Stir until chips are melted and mixture is well blended. Pour into pan. Immediately top with the marzipan square, lightly pressing into chocolate.
• In the same double boiler (or in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water) combine semisweet chocolate chips, remaining can of condensed milk and 3 tablespoons butter.
• Stir until chips are melted and mixture is well blended. Spread over marzipan layer. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours. (As a side note, I think it's great to make yourself a cup of hot tea with the boiling water from the double boiler, instead of just dumping it.).
• Just before serving, cut into 1 inch squares.

EASY CHOCOLATE FUDGE WITH PRETZELS

Steps:

• Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
• Place butter, chocolate chips, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until chocolate just melts and mixture is combined and warm but not hot, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups pretzels. Transfer mixture to pan and smooth top; press 1/2 cup pretzels on top. Refrigerate until set, 2 hours (or up to overnight, wrapped). Using parchment, lift fudge from pan and cut into 36 squares.
