Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and marshmallow cream in a 1-quart pan. Bring to a full boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and add chocolate chips.
- Stir until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add nuts and vanilla, then stir to combine.
- Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 8-inch square pan and let it cool.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure you stir continuously while bringing the mixture to a boil. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can simply omit the nuts or substitute them with additional chocolate chips. Experimenting with flavored chocolate chips, like mint or peanut butter, can give a unique twist to this Mallo-Smooth Fudge. Also, keep an eye on the cooking time to avoid burning the sugar.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for easy serving. It pairs beautifully with coffee or hot chocolate for a delightful treat. You can also serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. For a fun twist, try crumbling the fudge over a slice of Christina'S Pumpkin Bread for added texture and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate the fudge for up to two weeks. To reheat, cut a piece and microwave it for a few seconds until warm, which will restore its creamy texture. Avoid freezing as it may alter the consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! You can use dark, milk, or even white chocolate chips based on your preference. Mixing different types can create a unique flavor profile. Just ensure the total amount remains the same to maintain the right consistency.
What can I substitute for marshmallow cream?
If you don't have marshmallow cream, you can make a homemade version by whipping together 2 cups of mini marshmallows with 1 tablespoon of corn syrup until smooth. This will mimic the texture and sweetness of the marshmallow cream in the recipe.
How do I know when the fudge is done cooking?
The fudge is done when it reaches a full boil and has cooked for 5 minutes while stirring constantly. It should appear thickened and glossy. You can also test a small spoonful in cold water; if it forms a soft ball, it's ready to be cooled.
