Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir together the sugar, evaporated milk, margarine, vanilla, and chocolate chips for 15 minutes, ensuring the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a buttered jelly roll pan.
- Refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes before cutting into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother fudge, ensure that you stir the mixture continuously for the full 15 minutes, allowing it to fully combine and melt. If you prefer a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the chocolate chips with dark chocolate. You can also add a pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness. For a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts or replace them with sunflower seeds for added crunch.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into squares and serve as a delightful dessert at gatherings or alongside coffee for an afternoon treat. It pairs beautifully with a warm cup of tea or coffee, making it a perfect accompaniment to your favorite book or a movie night. For a festive touch, consider serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside slices of Banana Bread(Makes 2 Loaves).
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 for longer shelf life. To reheat, gently microwave a piece for a few seconds until slightly softened, being careful not to melt it completely, as it’s best enjoyed at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular butter instead of margarine?
Yes, you can substitute regular butter for margarine in this fudge recipe. It will add a richer flavor and slightly alter the texture, making it creamier. Just ensure that the butter is softened before mixing to achieve the best results.
What can I use instead of walnuts?
If you want to skip the walnuts, you can use other nuts like pecans or almonds, or even omit nuts altogether for a smooth fudge. For a different texture, consider adding dried fruits or even crushed cookies for a unique twist.
How can I tell when the fudge is ready to cut?
The fudge is ready to cut when it has set firm to the touch after refrigeration for 30 to 45 minutes. If it feels too soft, give it a bit more time in the fridge. Once firm, cut it into squares and enjoy!
