Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sugar, margarine, and evaporated milk in a heavy 2 1/2-quart saucepan.

Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the perfect texture, ensure you stir constantly while boiling to prevent scorching. If you prefer a creamier fudge, consider substituting half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips. You can also use walnuts or pecans instead of mixed nuts for a different flavor. For a fun twist, add a pinch of sea salt before pouring into the pan.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for easy serving. It pairs beautifully with coffee or hot chocolate for a delightful treat. Consider serving it alongside a slice of Mary'S White Cake for a sweet dessert platter. Perfect for holiday gatherings or as a homemade gift!
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate it, where it can last for up to three weeks. If you want to enjoy it warm, microwave a piece for a few seconds to soften it before serving.
