Oversea Fudge
Overseas Fudge is a rich, creamy candy combining chocolate, marshmallows, pecans, and vanilla, perfect for sharing at celebrations or as a decadent treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil sugar, oleo, and Pet milk until it forms a pretty hard ball.
- Beat in the chocolate chips, marshmallows, and pecans.
- Beat until fairly thick.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, ensure your sugar mixture reaches the hard ball stage, about 250°F (121°C), before adding the chocolate and marshmallows. If you don't have oleo, unsalted butter works as a great substitute. Consider adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor. For a twist, try using different nuts like walnuts or almonds.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the Oversea Fudge into small squares and serve as a delightful dessert or snack. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea, making it a perfect afternoon treat. For a festive touch, consider serving alongside Grandma Reed'S Holiday Pumpkin Bread during gatherings or holidays.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature before cutting it into squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to a month. To enjoy it again, let it come to room temperature before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of Pet milk?
Yes, you can substitute Pet milk with evaporated milk or whole milk. However, keep in mind that using evaporated milk will give a creamier texture, while whole milk may result in a slightly less rich fudge.
What if my fudge doesn't set properly?
If your fudge doesn't set, it may not have reached the right temperature during cooking. You can try re-melting it gently and adding a bit more sugar to help it firm up. Pour it back into a greased pan and let it cool again.
How can I make this fudge more chocolatey?
To intensify the chocolate flavor, consider adding cocoa powder or using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. You can also drizzle melted chocolate on top before it sets for an extra layer of richness.
