Pina Colada Fudge

Here we are again.  With seized white chocolate x2 batches.  Oh, the bane of my baking existence!  I have the worst luck melting white chocolate, so I try to avoid it.  However, when your Hungry Puppy wants to take white chocolate muddy buddies to school for her 8th birthday treat, you suck it up and ruin two batches and fudge on the third.  Get it?  Fudge?  So, this recipe has been on my to do list, but the ruined white chocolate made it happen.  I definitely took a risk, but that white chocolate smoothed out when combined with the rest of the ingredients and we have success!  When you make this recipe, you DO NOT need to use seized white chocolate.  Regular will do just fine.  Just remember you can use your failed white chocolate if necessary.

Pina Colada Fudge

2 cups white chocolate chips 
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (about half of a 14 ounce can)
1 cup shredded coconut
3/4 cup marshmallow cream (about half of a 7 ounce container)
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1/4 teaspoon rum extract
1/2 cup dried pineapple, chopped

Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with foil and lightly grease the foil.

In a large microwave safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.  Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring after each until chocolate is melted and smooth.  Add the remaining ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined.  Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth the top.  Place in the refrigerator until firm, several hours.  Remove fudge from the refrigerator and lift out of the pan using the foil as a handle.  Cut the fudge into squares.  Makes 24 to 36 servings.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
