Total Time: 3 hrs
Servings: 36
Yield: 1 9-inch square pan

Ingredients

  1. 3 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
  2. 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  3. 1 splash vanilla extract
  4. 2 cups white sugar
  5. ⅔ cup milk
  6. ½ cup butter
  7. ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  8. 3 cups butterscotch chips
  9. 1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow cream
  10. 1 pinch flaky sea salt (such as Maldon®)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat; stir until melted, about 5 minutes. Pour into the lined baking pan.
  3. Bring sugar, milk, and butter to a boil in another saucepan over medium heat. Cook at a boil until mixture turns golden and thickens slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in cream carefully; it may hiss and splatter. Bring back to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in butterscotch chips and marshmallow cream until smooth.
  4. Pour butterscotch layer over the chocolate layer in the pan; sprinkle with sea salt. Allow fudge to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

The ratio of chocolate to butterscotch seemed off. Too much butterscotch fudge for me. I would have made 1/2 as much butterscotch fudge. Also, my butterscotch fudge didn’t get as hard as the chocolate. That could have been a mistake on my part. The butterscotch is very very sweet. I liked the salt on top, however I ended up trimming about 1/3 of the butterscotch from the top.
