My children have always loved root beer floats, so I came up with this fudgy treat just for them. Sweet and creamy with that familiar root beer flavor, it's always a bestseller at school bake sales. —Jennifer Fisher, Austin, Texas

Ingredients

1 teaspoon plus 3/4 cup butter, divided
3 cups sugar
1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk
1 package (10 to 12 ounces) white baking chips
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons root beer concentrate

Directions

Line a 9-in. square baking pan with foil; grease foil with 1 teaspoon butter. In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, milk and remaining butter. Bring to a rapid boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 4 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in baking chips and marshmallow creme until melted. Pour one-third of the mixture into a small bowl; stir in vanilla.
To remaining mixture, stir in root beer concentrate; immediately spread into prepared pan. Spread vanilla mixture over top. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Remove foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
