Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil sugar and Milnot together for 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine broken and mixed marshmallow cream, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and chopped pecans.
- Add the hot sugar and Milnot mixture to the bowl and stir until well combined.
- Cut margarine into small chunks and add to the mixture.
- Place the candy bars in the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into a greased dish and spread evenly.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you’re looking for a nut-free version, you can omit the pecans or substitute with sunflower seeds. Be sure to stir the mixture vigorously after adding the hot sugar and Milnot to ensure an even blend. Also, using a candy thermometer can help achieve the perfect consistency when boiling the sugar.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into squares and serve as a delightful treat at gatherings or as a sweet snack. It pairs beautifully with coffee or hot cocoa, making it a great dessert option for colder months. For a special touch, serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with caramel sauce for added indulgence.
Storage & Reheating
Store the Millionaires Chocolate Fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it, which will help maintain its firmness. If you prefer a softer texture, allow it to come to room temperature before serving. Avoid freezing to maintain the quality of the chocolate and nuts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of Milnot?
Yes, you can substitute Milnot with evaporated milk for a similar texture and sweetness. Keep in mind that using regular milk might alter the consistency and cooking time, so adjust accordingly. If you prefer a dairy-free option, consider using coconut milk or a non-dairy evaporated milk substitute.
What if I don't have marshmallow cream?
If you don't have marshmallow cream, you can make a homemade version by mixing 1/4 cup of corn syrup with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Alternatively, consider using a store-bought whipped topping or even peanut butter for a different flavor profile, though it will change the texture.
How can I make this fudge more festive?
To make the fudge more festive, you can add colorful sprinkles on top before it sets or incorporate seasonal flavors like peppermint extract or orange zest. For a holiday treat, consider using themed cookie cutters to shape the fudge into fun designs after it has cooled. This will make it visually appealing for parties or gift-giving.
