Description
Mini Fudge Bars are a decadent dessert made of two distinct layers: a rocky road-style base and a rich, silky fudge topping. The base is a combination of biscuits, mixed nuts, mini marshmallows, and chocolate, while the fudge topping is a creamy blend of golden caster sugar, double cream, butter, and a touch of vanilla extract. The result is a dessert that balances both chewy and smooth textures with a hint of salt to elevate the flavors. These bars are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a holiday gathering, birthday celebration, or just an indulgent treat to share with loved ones.
