Gummy Bear Fudge: Creamy white chocolate based fudge flavored with gummy bear flavoring and topped with gummy bears. Taste just like the gummy candy.
Years ago a friend and fellow hockey player asked me to make him Swedish Fish Fudge.
I figured out how to do it and he was in heaven.
Then he decided I needed to make him gummy bear fudge.
That is harder than the Swedish Fish because there are many types of gummy bears.
My friend and I are BIG fans of Haribo and these do not taste like Harbio gummy bears.
But they do have a fruity gummy bear flavor.
To get the flavoring you need to go to Wizard Labs.
I mention them often on the blog and I buy many flavorings from them.
It should come as no surprise that kids love this Gummy Bear Fudge. 🙂
As do those that enjoy a gummy bear.
Keys to Successful Fudge:
Have a thermometer.
I don’t like the old fashioned ones that you clip to the side.
Those never work for me.
I like digital and use this one.
Use Baker’s sugar.
Also known as caster or superfine sugar.
I don’t always follow my own rule because I don’t always have it on hand but it makes for a less gritty fudge.
Use good butter. Preferably European.
They higher the butterfat content the better.
Cheaper butter often has too much water in it and will cause your fudge to separate.
Same goes for your chocolate.
The cheaper the chocolate the more likely it is to separate.
If using chips I tend to use Guittard.
And when making extra special fudge I used TCHO.
P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!

- Add the Gummy Bear flavoring and marshmallow crème and mix until well blended.

I had no idea you could get gummy bear flavour! I’m all about unique flavours to add to my desserts – particularly candies and icing – so I’ll definitely have to give this Wizard Lab place a look at. This fudge sounds absolutely delicious 😋

You will get lost in there. It’s so fun. They have such fun flavors to make candy and icings with.
