Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a full boil, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat.

- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped nuts and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour into a greased 8-inch square pan.
- Chill until the fudge is firm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure to stir constantly and scrape the sides of the pan to prevent the sugar from crystallizing. If you prefer a nuttier fudge, consider using pecans or walnuts instead of the traditional nuts. You can also experiment with flavored chocolate chips, like mint or peanut butter, for a unique twist. For a fun addition, try drizzling melted white chocolate on top before chilling.
Serving Suggestions
This Amish Marshmallow Cream Fudge is delightful on its own but can also be served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. It pairs beautifully with Kenny'S Cupcakes for a sweet treat platter. Consider cutting the fudge into small squares for easy sharing at gatherings or as party favors.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it, which will help preserve its texture. If you want to enjoy it warm again, place a piece in the microwave for about 10 seconds, just until it softens slightly but is not melted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular milk instead of evaporated milk?
While evaporated milk gives a creamier texture, you can substitute it with regular milk, though the fudge may not set as firmly. If you opt for regular milk, consider reducing the amount slightly to maintain the right consistency.
What can I do if my fudge doesn't set?
If your fudge doesn't set properly, it may be due to not boiling it long enough. You can reheat the mixture gently, add a bit more sugar, and bring it back to a boil for a few minutes before pouring it back into the pan to cool.
Can I add other flavors to this fudge?
Absolutely! You can enhance the fudge with extracts such as mint or almond, or even mix in crushed candy canes for a seasonal twist. Feel free to get creative with your favorite flavors to make this fudge unique to your taste.
