What You Need:
- 1 1/4 cups pretzel sticks, crushed
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1 cup Reese's Pieces
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 7 ounces marshmallow fluff
Directions:
1. Place sugar, heavy cream, butter and salt in the slow cooker.
2. Cover, and cook on LOW for 1 1/2 hours (or until ingredients are melted and heated through). Stir occasionally.
3. In a medium bowl, crush up pretzel sticks with the back of a cup. Add candy corn and Reese's pieces and set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, combine white chocolate chips and marshmallow fluff.
5. Once the slow cooker ingredients are heated, pour the hot mixture over the chocolate chips and marshmallow fluff to melt them together. Stir until smooth.
6. Add all but 1/2 cup of the candy corn mixture to the white chocolate and marshmallow bowl. Fold in the ingredients until well-incorporated.
7. Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread it out into an even layer.
8. Sprinkle the remaining candy corn mixture over the top of the dish. Lightly press down on the candy to make sure it sticks in the fudge.
9. Refrigerate the fudge for 3 hours, and then freeze for 1 hour before slicing.
10. Cut into squares, and enjoy!
