Preparation steps

- Increase the heat and continue cooking until a small amount of the mixture is dropped into a glass of cold water and forms a soft ball that you can scoop up with a teaspoon.
- The bubbles in the mixture will look small and uniform at this point.
- Turn off the heat and continue stirring for 5 minutes or until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
- Sprinkle in the white chocolate and swirl it through the mixture once with a spatula or the handle of a wooden spoon.
- Pour the mixture into the baking paper-lined tin.

Health Benefits of White Chocolate Chip Fudge
White chocolate fondant is a delicious sweet treat that will satisfy any sweet tooth. Although it may not be considered the healthiest option, it offers some surprising health benefits when consumed in moderation. Let’s explore some of the benefits of this delicious treat:
1. Energy source
White chocolate chip fudge is high in sugar, which provides a quick energy boost. The golden powdered sugar used in this recipe is a natural sweetener that is less processed than regular white sugar. The immediate energy boost can be beneficial for people who engage in physical activity or need an energy boost.
2. Rich in calcium
Incorporating double cream into the recipe makes white chocolate chip fondant a good source of calcium. Calcium is essential for maintaining strong bones and teeth, supporting muscle function, and ensuring proper nerve transmission throughout the body.
3. Mood enhancer
Eating white chocolate fondant can put a smile on your face and lift your mood. It contains small pieces of white chocolate that contain natural substances such as theobromine and phenylethylamine, which are known to stimulate the brain and promote feelings of happiness. However, it is important to note that the effects are temporary and excessive consumption can have negative health effects.
4. Antioxidant properties
Although white chocolate is not considered a pure form of chocolate due to the lack of cocoa ingredients, it still has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help fight free radicals in the body, reduce the risk of chronic diseases and support overall well-being.
5. Enjoyment and stress relief
Enjoying white chocolate fondant occasionally can provide a sense of calm and reduce stress. When you enjoy a small piece of this sweet treat, you can escape the worries of everyday life for a moment and relax and unwind.
Although there are some health benefits associated with white chocolate chip fudge, its high sugar and calorie content makes it important to consume it in moderation. As with all pleasures, balance is the key to a healthy lifestyle.
