Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the sugar, chocolate or cocoa, corn syrup, Pet milk, and vanilla until creamy.
- Pour the mixture into a pan.
- Bake at 350°F until the fudge tests done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother fudge, make sure to thoroughly beat the mixture until creamy, as this incorporates air for a lighter texture. If you don't have Pet milk, whole milk or half-and-half can be substituted. You can also use dark chocolate instead of cocoa for a richer flavor. Ensure your baking pan is lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares and serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. Consider serving it on a platter with other treats, like Sugar-Free Gingerbread Cookies, for a festive occasion or holiday gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it, but be sure to wrap it well to prevent it from absorbing odors. To enjoy it again, let it come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can substitute Pet milk with whole milk, almond milk, or even coconut milk, depending on your dietary preferences. Keep in mind that the flavor and texture may vary slightly, but it will still yield a tasty fudge.
How can I tell when the fudge is done baking?
The fudge is done when it starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. You can also use a candy thermometer to check for a soft ball stage, which is around 234°F to 240°F.
Is it possible to add nuts or other mix-ins?
Absolutely! Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans can add a delightful crunch. You can also mix in chocolate chips, dried fruit, or even a swirl of peanut butter for extra flavor. Just fold them in gently before pouring the mixture into the pan.
