Angel Fudge
Creamy, rich Angel Fudge combines sweet sugar, vanilla, marshmallow whip, and chocolate syrup for a delightful treat perfect for sharing with friends and family.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the sugar, chocolate syrup, and milk in a deep kettle (3-quart) and stir over medium heat until well blended.
- Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring, and cook until it reaches the soft ball stage (234°F) when tested in cold water.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, you can substitute half of the sugar with powdered sugar. If you don't have marshmallow whip, you can use marshmallow fluff as an alternative, although it may be slightly denser. Keep an eye on the mixture while boiling, as it can quickly go from perfect to burnt. For a fun twist, consider adding nuts or chocolate chips once the fudge is cooled.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares and serve it on a decorative platter for a festive touch. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa, making it a perfect treat for gatherings. Consider serving it alongside a slice of The Best Strawberry Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Angel Fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to two weeks. To reheat, place a small piece in the microwave for a few seconds until slightly warm, then enjoy. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dark chocolate syrup instead of regular?
Yes, using dark chocolate syrup will give your Angel Fudge a richer flavor. Just keep in mind that it may alter the sweetness level, so you might want to adjust the sugar accordingly.
What can I do if my fudge doesn't set properly?
If your fudge remains too soft, it may not have reached the soft ball stage. You can try cooking it a bit longer, checking the temperature frequently. Alternatively, you can refrigerate it for a few hours to help it firm up.
Is it possible to add flavor variations to this fudge?
Absolutely! You can incorporate flavors like peppermint extract or almond extract for a unique twist. Just add a teaspoon or so during the mixing process before boiling. This could also complement other desserts like Chocolate Fudge Cookies.
