Chocolate Strawberry Fudge

Welcome to Chocolate Strawberry Week at What's Cooking, Love?

It is day 6 of Chocolate Strawberry week and I thought this fudge would be perfect to share.  This is great for Valentine's Day or for any other day.  When I made Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge for the Crazy Cooking Challenge in December, I accidentally added strawberry extract instead of vanilla.  It actually tasted really good and had a chocolate, peanut butter and strawberry fudge.  This gave me the idea to make chocolate strawberry fudge.

To get the strawberry flavor and look I used white chocolate chips and added strawberry extract and red food coloring.  This fudge was really good and easy to make.  It had a great chocolate and strawberry taste and was really delicious.  

Chocolate Strawberry Fudge

1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 (7 ounce) jar of marshmallow cream
3/4 cup evaporated milk 
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

1 tablespoon strawberry extract

3 drops of red food coloring

1.  Line an 8 x 8 pan with foil.

2.  In two separate medium-sized heat safe bowls, place the white chocolate chips in one bowl and the chocolate chips in the other bowl.

3.  In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine the sugar, marshmallow cream, evaporated milk, and butter.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils.  Boil and stir for 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla.

4.  Working quickly, stir one-half of the mixture into the white chocolate chips and the other half into the chocolate chips. 

5.  To the white chocolate chip mixture, add the strawberry extract and the red food coloring.  Stir the strawberry mixture until fully melted and quickly pour into the 8 x 8 pan.

6.  Stir the chocolate chip mixture until fully melted and carefully spread over the strawberry mixture.

7.  Refrigerate until completely cool.  To cut flip the fudge over and unpeel the foil.
