Layered Red Velvet Fudge Recipe
Growing up my grandma made fudge it always looked really complicated and when I inherited her cookbook I steered well away from the recipes. But then a friend introduced me to easy Chocolate Fudge in the slow cooker!
From then I experimented and discovered that you can even make it on the stove in a double boiler without having to worry about getting that temperature right at all.
This recipe for a layered fudge calls for making a set of white chocolate fudge and then splitting it to incorporate the red velvet flavour to the other half. It may sound complicated but I promise you it's so easy to make and tastes delicious.
I like this much better than our white chocolate fudge as although I have a sweet tooth I find I can't eat very much white chocolate without feeling a little sick as it is so sweet.
You can use either milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate depending on your preference but the dark chocolate chips do make it better and are a great mix with the white chocolate too!
