Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure your butter is fully melted before adding the other ingredients. If you don't have evaporated milk, you can substitute it with an equal amount of half-and-half. For a nut-free version, consider using sunflower seeds or additional marshmallows. This recipe is similar to Instant Fudge, making it a quick and easy treat.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for easy serving, and consider pairing it with a warm cup of coffee or tea. For an impressive dessert platter, serve alongside No Fuss Sweet Rolls or Butter Pecan Turtle Cookies. This fudge also makes a delightful gift when wrapped in decorative packaging.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to two weeks. To reheat, place individual pieces in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, but be cautious not to overheat as it may alter the texture.
