Instructions
-
Melt chocolate chips and unsweetened chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds.
-
Stir marshmallow cream, water, and vanilla into the melted chocolate until well combined.
-
Press the fudge mixture into an 8x8-inch waxed paper-lined pan, cover, and refrigerate for about 1 hour until firm.
-
Remove fudge from the pan, then slice it in half horizontally before cutting each half into 8 thin 1x4-inch rectangles.
-
Dust hands with cocoa powder and roll each rectangle into a cylinder; place them on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate if they soften.
-
Melt red candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
-
Poke a hole into the top of each fudge cylinder with a toothpick, widening it to fit a licorice piece.
-
Snip licorice into 16 one-inch pieces.
-
Dip each fudge cylinder into the red coating, allowing excess to drip off, then place back on the baking sheet.
-
Insert a licorice piece into the hole of each dipped fudge cylinder.
-
Refrigerate the tray for approximately 20 minutes to completely set the coating.
