Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Marshmallow Creme, broken Hershey bars, and chocolate chips in a large bowl.
- Set aside the mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother fudge, ensure your butter is at room temperature before mixing. If you want to add a nutty flavor, consider folding in some chopped walnuts or pecans after combining the chocolate and marshmallow mixture. If you're short on chocolate chips, a combination of white chocolate and semi-sweet can also work well. This fudge is great for gifting or as a sweet treat alongside American recipes like Pecan-Streusel Coffee Cake.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for serving and consider drizzling with melted chocolate or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa, making it a perfect dessert for gatherings. Serve alongside your favorite treats like Peanut Butter-Chunk Cookies for a delightful dessert platter.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate it, which can extend its freshness up to two weeks. To reheat, microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until just warm; avoid overheating as it can alter the texture.
