Fudge Ring
Spooning this cookie- and candy-filled fudge into a homemade ring mold makes a fun project that the kids will want to take part in.
Prep: 10 min.; Cook: 12 min.; Other: 15 min.
Yield: 2 lb.
Ingredients
1 (12-oz.) package milk chocolate morsels
1 cup butterscotch morsels
1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Butter
1 1/4 cups candy-coated chocolate pieces
1/2 cup coarsely crushed cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (about 5 cookies)
Preparation
Combine first 3 ingredients in a saucepan, reserving condensed milk can.
Cook over medium-low heat until all morsels melt, stirring often. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and salt.
Cool slightly (about 15 minutes).
Meanwhile, grease an 8" round cake pan or springform pan with butter.
Line pan with 2 pieces of plastic wrap, overlapping edges and smoothing out any wrinkles.
Wrap empty condensed milk can with aluminum foil, smoothing out wrinkles; place in center of cake pan.
Stir 1 cup candies and crushed cookies into fudge; spread fudge in cake pan, holding can firmly in center.
(A second pair of hands is a big help here.)
Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup chocolate candies over fudge, gently pressing candies into fudge.
Cover and chill until firm (about 2 to 3 hours).
To unmold, carefully loosen edges with a sharp knife, and remove can from center of fudge.
Carefully invert fudge onto a plate.
Invert again on a serving plate or cardboard cake round for gift giving.
Cut fudge into thin slices to serve.
Note: For an easy gift giving "platter," we wrapped a cardboard cake round with wrapping paper.
