Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar mix (ground cinnamon mixed with granulated sugar)
Pinch of kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups white chocolate morsels
7 oz jar marshmallow cream

Drizzle Icing

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

Instructions

Prepare Baking Dish: Line a 13×9 inch glass baking dish thoroughly with parchment paper. This will ensure the fudge can be easily lifted out once it has set. Set aside while preparing the fudge mixture.
Cook Sugar Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, a pinch of kosher salt, 1/4 cup of the cinnamon sugar mix, and 1 cup of heavy cream. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until all ingredients are combined. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil and maintain it while stirring for 4 minutes to achieve the right consistency and temperature for fudge.
Add White Chocolate and Marshmallow: Remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly add the white chocolate morsels, marshmallow cream, and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar mix to the hot mixture. Whisk vigorously, preferably using an electric mixer, until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined. This process may take a few minutes, so patience is important to achieve a creamy fudge texture.
Set the Fudge: Immediately pour the smooth fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined baking dish. Spread evenly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until the fudge is fully hardened and firm to the touch.
Cut Fudge Pieces: Once set, remove the fudge from the refrigerator. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and cut into circles using a 1 1/2 inch circle cookie cutter or into small bite-sized pieces for easy serving.
Make and Apply Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and heavy cream until the icing is smooth and pourable. Transfer to a zip-top plastic bag and snip a tiny corner off to create a piping bag. Drizzle the icing evenly over the cut fudge pieces. Immediately sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar mix atop the icing for added texture and flavor.
Set the Drizzle: Place the decorated fudge pieces back into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the drizzle icing to harden before serving.

Notes

For best results, use an electric mixer to whisk the fudge mixture after removing from heat to ensure smooth texture.
Line the baking dish with parchment paper extending over the edges for easy removal.
The cinnamon sugar mix can be made by combining equal parts ground cinnamon and granulated sugar.
Cut fudge into desired shapes: circles provide an elegant look, but squares or bite-sized pieces work perfectly for casual settings.
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Allow fudge to come to room temperature slightly before eating to enhance flavor and texture.
