Ingredients
Instructions
- Into a large mixing bowl, add margarine, chopped walnuts, vanilla, chocolate or peanut butter chips, and marshmallow cream.
- Set aside the mixture.
- Make a syrup by combining sugar and evaporated milk in a saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is well combined.
- Bring the syrup to a boil.
- Boil the syrup exactly for 12 minutes without stirring.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. If you want to reduce sugar, try swapping half of the sugar with a sugar substitute suitable for baking. Chopped pecans can be a nice alternative to walnuts. Make sure to use high-quality chocolate chips for a more decadent fudge. Always stir the syrup constantly to prevent burning.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into squares and serve it on a decorative platter for parties or family gatherings. It pairs beautifully with coffee or a glass of milk. For a delicious dessert, consider serving it alongside Vanilla Ice Cream. You could also create gift boxes of fudge to share during holidays, making it a delightful addition to any treat assortment.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it, where it will last for about two weeks. If you prefer to freeze it, wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container, ensuring they are well-protected from freezer burn.
