    Delight guests at a wedding or shower with their own tiered "cake." For these fudge treats, which can be made with white or dark chocolate, cookie cutters form bite-size layers resembling those on a wedding cake. Pink sanding sugar serves as icing, and paper doilies enhance the dainty display.

    Ingredients

    • Nonstick cooking spray
    • 2 cups granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon fine salt
    • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 3 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (8 ounces)
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 3 cups coarsely chopped dark or white chocolate (20 ounces)
    • 2 tablespoons sanding sugar

    Directions

    1. Cut three 3-by-18-inch strips waxed paper; line 9-by-12-inch rimmed baking sheet, 1 strip along length and 2 along width. Allow strips to hang over sides. Coat with cooking spray; set aside. In medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, salt, butter, cream, and marshmallows. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until most of the butter and the marshmallows are melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Bring to boil; boil, stirring, 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and chocolate; stir until completely smooth. Pour immediately into prepared baking sheet; let cool, 3 to 4 hours.
    2. When fudge is firm enough to work with, use paper to lift fudge onto a cutting board. Using 1-, 1 1/4 -, and 1 1/2-inch round cutters, cut out 14 rounds of each size. Pour sanding sugar into a small, shallow bowl; dip top of each round in sugar. Stack rounds to form 3-layer cakes; let stand until fudge is completely solid, about 1 hour.

      Does anyone know how long you can store the fudge? I would like to know if I can make these in advance.

      This recipe has been my "favorite thing" for the holdiay season for over three years now!!! My friends and neighbors rave about and look forward to this as a gift every christmas! Instead of making cakes, I cut out holiday patterns with snowmen, star, and christmas tree shapes and decorate with white icing!!! It's so fun and easy and is just delicious!!!
