This Red Hot Dark Chocolate Fudge is a perfect confection for lovers of chocolate and those who enjoy a hint of heat. Ideal for Valentine’s Day or any special occasion, this fudge will not only satisfy your sweet tooth but also add a touch of excitement to your dessert table.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 Cups Sugar: Provides the sweetness that balances the deep flavors of the chocolate.
• 1/2 Cup Margarine: Essential for a smooth texture; make sure not to substitute with butter to maintain the right consistency.
• 1 5oz Can Evaporated Milk: Adds richness and a creamy texture to the fudge.
• 1 7oz Jar Marshmallow Cream: Helps achieve that delightful melt-in-your-mouth quality.
• 1/2 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Contributes to the depth of chocolate flavor.
• 2-1/2 Cups Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips: Ensures a robust chocolate taste with a slight bitterness.
• 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor profile with its warm, aromatic essence.
• 4 Squares of Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Bars (broken into pieces): Adds an extra dimension of chocolate goodness.
• 1/4 Cup Red Hots: Infuses the fudge with a spicy cinnamon kick.
• Valentine Sprinkles: Adds a festive touch that’s perfect for gifting or a party.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Start by lining a 9×13 glass pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray. This ensures easy removal and clean cuts when serving.

2. Set Up Chocolate and Vanilla: Place the semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate chips along with the vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer. This allows them to be ready for the hot mixture.

3. Cook the Base Mixture: In a 3-quart heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, margarine, evaporated milk, and marshmallow cream. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture reaches a rolling boil.

4. Boil to Perfection: Once boiling, continue stirring for a full 5 minutes. This step is crucial to ensure the sugar dissolves completely and creates a smooth texture.

5. Combine with Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the hot mixture into the mixer bowl over the chocolate chips. Using the whip attachment, beat the mixture until it’s smooth and silky. Note: The quality of chocolate is key here; inferior chocolate may result in a grainy texture.

6. Transfer to Pan: Pour the silky mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.

7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the broken pieces of dark chocolate bars, red hots, and Valentine sprinkles over the top, pressing them lightly into the fudge.

8. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours to set. Once firm, cut into squares and serve.

Tips for Success

• Quality Matters: Using premium chocolate is crucial for achieving the desired smooth and creamy texture.
• Boiling Time: Be precise with the 5-minute boiling time to ensure the fudge sets properly.
• Customization: Feel free to adjust the amount of Red Hots for more or less spice according to your preference.
