Black And Fudge

Total Time: 3 hrs 25 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

• 7 ounces marzipan or 7 ounces almond paste
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, divided
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Recipe

• 1 butter an 8-inch square pan.
• 2 lightly dust work surface with powdered sugar. fold marzipan in half and press into a flat square. roll into a 9” x 9” square. using the bottom of the pan as a template, cut out square of marzipan to match pan dimensions. (don't worry if it's not perfect.) set aside.
• 3 in a double boiler (or in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water) combine chocolate chips, 1/2 cup condensed milk and 3 tablespoons butter.
• 4 stir until chips are melted and mixture is well blended. pour into pan. immediately top with the marzipan square, lightly pressing into chocolate.
• 5 in the same double boiler (or in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water) combine semisweet chocolate chips, remaining can of condensed milk and 3 tablespoons butter.
• 6 stir until chips are melted and mixture is well blended. spread over marzipan layer. cover and refrigerate 3 hours. (as a side note, i think it's great to make yourself a cup of hot tea with the boiling water from the double boiler, instead of just dumping it.).
• 7 just before serving, cut into 1 inch squares.
