Milnot Fudge offers a rich, creamy treat with the smoothness of marshmallow and peanut butter, perfect for fudge lovers and those seeking a nostalgic, easy-to-make dessert.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir together marshmallow cream and peanut butter in a mixing bowl.
- Cook sugar and Milnot until the mixture reaches a soft ball stage.
- Add vanilla to the sugar mixture.
- Pour the cooked mixture over the marshmallow and peanut butter mixture.
- Beat until smooth.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the peanut butter is well-stirred and creamy before mixing. If you're looking for a twist, try substituting almond butter for the peanut butter or using a flavored marshmallow cream. To test the soft ball stage, drop a small amount of the mixture into cold water; it should form a soft ball. This fudge can also be made with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for a delightful treat that pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. It also makes a great addition to dessert platters alongside cookies or brownies. For a festive touch, try serving it at gatherings or as part of a holiday dessert table with other sweet treats like Christmas Ginger Cookies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want it to last longer, refrigerate it, where it can stay fresh for up to two weeks. To enjoy it later, simply let it come to room temperature before serving, as it will become firmer in the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of Milnot?
Yes, you can substitute Milnot with evaporated milk or regular milk, but the consistency and creaminess may vary. If using regular milk, make sure to cook it longer to achieve the right thickness for the fudge.
How do I know when the sugar and Milnot mixture is ready?
To check if the mixture has reached the soft ball stage, drop a small amount into cold water. If it forms a soft ball that holds its shape but is still pliable, it’s ready to pour over the peanut butter and marshmallow mixture.
Can I add nuts or other ingredients to the fudge?
Absolutely! Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans can add great texture and flavor. You can also mix in chocolate chips or dried fruits for added sweetness and variety, enhancing the overall taste of the fudge.
