• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules

Directions

1. Prepare pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.

6. Top layer: Pour the remaining fudge mixture over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly to cover.
7. Cool: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours or until set. You can also refrigerate it to speed up the setting process.
