Creme Fudge
Creamy, rich fudge blending caramel, chocolate, and marshmallow flavors, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and sharing with friends during holidays or special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir sugar, large carnation, marshmallow cream, and chopped Hershey bars until smooth and creamy.
- Add butter and continue stirring until fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into a buttered pan and let it set before cutting into pieces.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a silky texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. If you want a twist, consider substituting half the sugar with brown sugar for a deeper flavor. For a nutty crunch, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans at the end. Remember to chop the Hershey bars into smaller pieces for easier melting.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into bite-sized pieces and serve on a decorative platter. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. For a festive touch, consider serving it alongside Chocolate Cheesecake Chunks during celebrations or gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover creme fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer it softer, you can refrigerate it, but allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture. Avoid storing in the freezer as it may change the consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate instead of Hershey bars?
Absolutely! You can substitute Hershey bars with any chocolate you prefer, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate. Just be mindful of the sweetness level, as some chocolates are less sweet than Hershey's.
What if my fudge doesn't set properly?
If your fudge is too soft, it may need more time to cool. Alternatively, you can reheat the mixture gently and add a bit more sugar, then allow it to set again. Ensure it's in a cooler environment to help it firm up.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make a vegan version of this creme fudge, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and use a non-dairy milk like almond or coconut milk. Additionally, look for dairy-free chocolate bars to maintain the flavor.
