Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the semi-sweet chocolate, broken milk chocolate bar, Marshmallow Creme, butter, and chopped nuts into a bowl.
- Combine the evaporated milk and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and pour the hot mixture over the ingredients in the bowl.
- Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Pour the mixture into an ungreased 8- or 9-inch square pan.
- Allow to cool and then cut into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the chopped nuts or substitute with crispy rice cereal for added texture. Make sure to stir the mixture well while heating to prevent burning. If you want to add a twist, consider incorporating a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra depth.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares and serve as a delightful treat for parties or gatherings. It pairs beautifully with Home-Made Waffles for a decadent brunch or can be served alongside coffee for an afternoon pick-me-up. For a festive touch, drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with sea salt before serving.

Store any 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 up to two weeks. To enjoy it warm, simply microwave a piece for about 10-15 seconds until slightly softened.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate in this recipe?
Absolutely! You can use any combination of chocolate you like, such as dark chocolate for a richer taste or even white chocolate for a sweeter fudge. Just remember that the ratios may slightly alter the final texture and sweetness.
How can I make this fudge vegan?
To make this fudge vegan, substitute the butter with coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative. Use dairy-free chocolate and ensure your marshmallow creme is vegan, as some brands may contain gelatin. This will allow you to enjoy a delicious vegan treat without compromising on flavor.
What can I use instead of marshmallow creme?
If you don't have marshmallow creme, you can use a combination of 1/4 cup corn syrup and 1/4 cup powdered sugar as a substitute. Alternatively, homemade marshmallow fluff can work as well. Just ensure it's at a similar consistency for the best results in your fudge.
