This Salted Dark Chocolate Bourbon Fudge is one of those creations where I could just let the name and photos speak for themselves and not write a single word.  Because, truly, there are no words for how absolutely delicious this fudge is!

If you're a bourbon fan ... which I am ... Salted Dark Chocolate Bourbon fudge is a little bite of bourbon heaven.

I made three 'spirited' fudges this week and brought some of each to my Mom to taste test ...

I lined them up with this bourbon one last.

First, let me just say, she liked all three of them.  But she loved  this bourbon one.  {As do I.}

Though she liked all three, it was really fun to watch her reaction as she tasted.  She picked up the first one ... popped it in her mouth ... and said, "That's good."

She picked up the second one ... popped it in her mouth ... and said, "Mmm, that's good, too."

Then she picked up the third one ... the Salted Dark Chocolate Bourbon one ... popped it in her mouth ... and said ...

"Ooooohhhhhh, that's  goooooooooood."

Those of us who love to cook and feed people know that reaction, right?  It's the reaction we live for.  To know we've imparted just a little touch of joy with the tasty bite we've created.

And in this case, it's really  tasty chocolate-bourbon joy.

Sprinkled on top ...

... with just a little touch of fleur de sel salt for a little added zing.

Mom and I adore the touch of salt, but my husband did not.  If you're not a salted chocolate fan ... like my hubby ... just leave the salt off.

 Oh, and remember ~ the alcohol in the bourbon isn't cooked out of this fudge at all.  Please eat responsibly.  Ha!

Salted Dark Chocolate Bourbon Fudge

Salted. Dark Chocolate. Bourbon. Fudge. ~ there's not a single one of those words I don't like. And when you put them all together in one sweet bite? ~ It's a little bite of chocolate-bourbon heaven.

prep time: 15 Mcook time: 5 Mtotal time: 20 M

ingredients:

• 2 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 8 T. (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/2 c. whole milk
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 13 large marshmallows, torn in half
• 1 c. Ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate chips {just over 1/2 of a 10 oz. package}
• 1 1/4 c. confectioners sugar
• 1/4 c. + 2 T. bourbon
• 1/4 tsp. fleur de sel {or to taste ... I like it just lightly sprinkled}

instructions:

How to cook Salted Dark Chocolate Bourbon Fudge

1. Line a 9x9" pan, bottom and sides, with foil. Rub foil with butter or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners sugar and bourbon. Set aside.
3. Place granulated sugar, butter, and milk in a large pot. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue stirring and boil for 3 minutes ~ this is important for the fudge to set up properly, so time it! {Make sure to stir constantly ... and to keep the mixture at a full rolling boil. If the mixture froths up too much, turn the heat down just a little bit. Also, I sometimes lift the pot off the burner, still stirring, for just a second or two.}
4. After the 3 minutes, remove from heat. Add vanilla, marshmallows, and chocolate. Stir until marshmallows and chocolate are completely melted and blended into the sugar mixture. Add bourbon mixture to the pot and stir until blended in.
5. Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle top with fleur de sel. Refrigerate until fully chilled. Once chilled, cut into to small squares. Store fudge in the refrigerator.

TRACEY'S NOTES

1. This is a fairly soft-textured fudge, best enjoyed straight from the refrigerator or having not set out for more than just a few minutes. It still tastes great if it's been out of the refrigerator, but it'll leave a little chocolate on your fingers!
