Old Fashioned Fudge 2
This Old Fashioned Fudge 2 brings back the classic taste of homemade fudge with a smooth, creamy texture and a hint of vanilla—your ultimate sweet dessert for holidays and gift-giving.
Ingredients
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (Kerrygold recommended)
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme (Jet-Puffed recommended)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (Madagascar)
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with foil and lightly grease it, letting the excess foil hang over the edges for easy fudge removal later.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together sugar, butter, and evaporated milk over medium heat until the butter melts.
- Bring mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly, and continue until it reaches 236°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
- Blend in marshmallow creme, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the fudge mixture is silky.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with an offset spatula, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Lift fudge out of the pan using the foil edges, peel off the foil, and cut into 36 squares—warm your knife under hot water for clean cuts.
Notes
For a festive twist, swirl in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter before chilling or mix in crushed peppermint candies for a holiday treat.
