Step-by-step stovetop method for layered fudge

Prepare the pan

• Grease a 10×14 inch pan and line it with baking paper for easy removal.

Cook the base

1. Combine milk, sugar and butter in a large saucepan.
2. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
3. Let it simmer a few minutes until ingredients are well blended.
4. Remove from heat briefly and stir in oil, honey and vanilla.
5. Return to low heat and whisk in powdered milk and flour until smooth.
6. Cook another few minutes on low while stirring to thicken the mixture.

Create the two tones

7. Transfer about one third of the batter into a separate bowl for the white layer.
8. Mix cocoa into the remaining two thirds until evenly darkened.
9. Pour half of the chocolate batter into the prepared pan and spread to the edges.
10. Gently spoon the lighter, honey-sweetened filling over the chocolate, smoothing with a spatula.
11. Top with the remaining chocolate batter and level the surface.
12. Allow the pan to cool until the fudge firms, then chill in the refrigerator for several hours.
13. Lift the set fudge from the pan using the paper edges and cut into squares.

Practical tips for glossy, sliceable fudge

• Stir continuously while cooking to avoid grainy texture or burning.
• Use the baking paper to lift the block cleanly from the pan for neat slices.
• If the white honey layer feels too soft, refrigerate longer before cutting.
• Adjust honey to taste for a more pronounced floral sweetness.
• For firmer texture, chill overnight.

Serving ideas and storage guidance

• Serve chilled or at cool room temperature for best texture.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the white layer from softening.
• Fudge keeps well for several days refrigerated; let pieces sit a few minutes at room temp before serving.
• Cut into small squares for party platters or wrap individually for gifts.
