Salted Caramel Mocha Fudge

Adapted from Dulce Fudge

Yield – 4 servings

Preparation Time – 15 minutes

Chilling Time – 2 hours plus

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1 13oz. can Dulce de Leche flavored caramel sauce
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 2 tsp instant coffee granules
• 1 tsp coarse sea salt
• about 1 Tbsp coarse sea salt for topping

Directions

• Line an 8×8″ glass baking dish with parchment paper. This will help easily remove the fudge once it is set.
• In a glass microwavable mixing bowl, add the butter, brown sugar and Dulce de leche flavored caramel sauce. Microwave for 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl well. Then let cool for a few minutes.
• In a small glass bowl, add the chocolate chips. Cook on high in the microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Cook for another 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 30 second intervals until smooth.
• Stir the melted chocolate chips into the melted caramel. Then gently stir in the instant coffee granules and the coarse sea salt. Stir with an electric beater for 3 minutes, or whisk aggressively for 3 minutes.
• Then spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle some coarse sea salt over the top.
• Chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until set.
• Remove the fudge from parchment paper and baking dish. Place on a cutting board and slice with a sharp knife into 1″ square pieces. Makes 48-64 pieces, depending on how large you slice the pieces.
