Step-by-Step Instructions
When I start making my Bubblegum Cloud Fudge, the first thing I do is gather all my ingredients and equipment. I find it helps to be organized, especially with a fun, colorful recipe like this. I place my saucepan on the stove and add the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. As I heat these ingredients over low heat, it’s crucial to continuously stir until everything melts together. I remember the first time I made it—I accidentally let it sit for too long and burned the chocolate. Trust me, don’t walk away from this one!
Once the chocolate has completely melted and turned into a smooth, glossy mixture, I take it off the heat and stir in the bubblegum extract. The scent is absolutely heavenly—like walking into an old-fashioned candy store. This step really transforms the fudge, and I make sure to mix it thoroughly so every bit gets that sweet bubblegum flavor. If you think you might want to make it even sweeter, a splash more of the extract can do wonders.
Next comes the fun part: folding in the mini marshmallows and sprinkles. I can’t help but feel like a kid again, mixing in those colorful little bits. The marshmallows just add this delightful fluffiness and texture that make the fudge even more special. I usually pour the mixture directly into a lined baking pan, smoothing it out until it’s all even, and then I sprinkle a few more sprinkles on top for good measure—because more is always better, right?
