For the fudge base:
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the cinnamon swirl:
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Prepare the cinnamon swirl:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until fully combined. Set it aside.
Make the fudge base:
Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over low, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.
Assemble the fudge:
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Drizzle the cinnamon swirl mixture over the top. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl it gently through the fudge for a marbled effect.
Chill and set:
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
Cut and serve:
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
