Yes, they stay soft in the inside. The chocolate and caramel melt somewhat and the white stuff ( what is that called?) stays soft and gooey. Sometimes I take 1 frozen cookie, wrap in paper towel, 10-12 seconds in microwave, and you have a warm "fresh cookie from the oven" treat.
Left overs from Halloween?.........You've got to be kidding! LOL

A new recipe for my Christmas baking tradition.
1 box Brownies
1 pkg Red Peppermint mini marshmallows.
Semi-sweet choc chips.
Bake brownies per directions on box. Soon as you take from oven spread a layer of the mini marshmallows, place a cover of alum. foil. crimp tight. Let set for 20 min. Melt in Microwave semi -sweet choc. chips to frost marshmallows. Then I add festive sprinkles. These were a hit both places I took these to.

Fannie Mae Fudge
4 cups sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla
25 large marshmallows
1 cup real butter
13 oz pkg chocolate chips
2 oz (squares) unsweetened chocolate
13 oz milk chocolate
1 cup milk
Mix sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla. Let boil for exactly two minutes. Turn heat off. Add marshmallows; stir until melted. Add chocolates one at a time. Heat until melted.
Spread into a 12 x 10 x 1 buttered pan. Makes 5 lbs.
It seems like packaging weight has changed over the years so buy the closest you can find and time the boil when it reaches a rolling boil. This is really a no fail fudge and delicious!
