– 1 jar (7 ounces) of marshmallow creme
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the baking dish:
– Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Grease the foil lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

2. Make the Chocolate Fudge:
– In a heavy saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, butter, and evaporated milk.
– Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
– Boil for about 4-5 minutes, continuing to stir.
– Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted.
– Add the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
– Fold in the chopped hazelnuts.
– Pour the chocolate fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

3. Make the White Fudge:
– In another heavy saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, butter, and evaporated milk.
– Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
– Boil for about 4-5 minutes, continuing to stir.
– Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips until melted.
– Add the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

4. Create the Zebra Pattern:
– Drop spoonfuls of the white fudge over the chocolate fudge in the prepared baking dish.
– Use a knife or spatula to gently swirl the two fudges together, creating a marbled zebra pattern.

5. Let it set:
– Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, then refrigerate for an additional 1-2 hours until set.

6. Cut and serve:
– Lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the foil overhang.
– Cut into squares and serve or store in an airtight container.
