Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sugar, undiluted milk, butter, Marshmallow Creme, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture has boiled for exactly 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Add chocolate chips and vanilla and stir until chocolate is melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier fudge, ensure you stir the mixture continuously while it's boiling; this prevents burning and promotes even texture. If you're out of chocolate chips, you can substitute with chopped chocolate or cocoa powder, adjusting for sweetness. For a different flavor, consider adding nuts or a pinch of espresso powder. This fudge pairs beautifully with Aunt Dora'S Coffee Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for serving, and consider placing it on a decorative platter for a festive touch. It pairs well with a cup of coffee or tea, making it an excellent treat for gatherings. For a fun twist, serve it alongside Rich Cocoa Waffles for a decadent brunch or dessert option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate it for a couple of hours before serving. To reheat, microwave a piece for 10-15 seconds to soften slightly without melting completely, making it easier to slice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of evaporated milk?
Yes, you can substitute evaporated milk with regular milk or non-dairy alternatives like almond or coconut milk. However, using regular milk may result in a slightly different texture and sweetness, so you might want to adjust the sugar accordingly.
What should I do if my fudge doesn't set properly?
If your fudge is too soft, it may not have cooked long enough. You can try refrigerating it to firm up. If that doesn't work, reheat the fudge mixture gently and cook it for a few more minutes, then let it cool again before setting it in the fridge.
Can I add flavors or mix-ins to my fudge?
Absolutely! You can incorporate flavors like peppermint extract, almond extract, or even mix-ins like crushed cookies, nuts, or dried fruit. Just ensure these additions do not exceed the total volume of the chocolate and other ingredients, which could affect the fudge's setting.
