Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.
