Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the chocolate chips, vanilla, chopped nuts, butter or margarine, and marshmallow cream into a large bowl.
- Put the sugar and evaporated milk into a large pan.
- Stir and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Pour all ingredients from the bowl into the boiled mixture and stir until melted.
- Pour the mixture into a buttered pan about 1 inch thick.
- Cool for 2 to 3 hours before cutting into pieces.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother fudge, ensure that the butter is fully melted before combining with other ingredients. You can substitute half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile. Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the sweetness. If you prefer a less sweet fudge, reduce the sugar to 4 cups instead. Using dark chocolate chips will also create a richer taste.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for easy serving. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a festive touch, serve it on a platter with other treats like Pumpkin Muffins (Fat-Free; Sugar-Free) during the holiday season. Consider packaging the fudge in decorative boxes for gifting or sharing at parties.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the fudge for up to three months. To reheat, simply let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwave in short bursts until slightly softened, but be careful not to melt it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even flavored chips like peanut butter or butterscotch. Mixing different types can create a unique flavor. Just keep in mind that the sweetness level may vary with different chocolates, so adjust the sugar accordingly.
What should I do if my fudge doesn't set properly?
If your fudge is too soft, it may not have reached the right temperature during cooking. To fix it, you can reheat the fudge gently on the stove, adding a little more sugar if needed, and then allow it to cool again in the pan. If it’s still too soft, consider using it as a topping for ice cream or drizzling it over desserts.
Can I make this fudge without nuts?
Yes, you can easily omit the nuts if you prefer a nut-free version. Alternatively, you can substitute with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for added texture without the allergens. This fudge also works well as a base for adding dried fruits or even crispy rice for a fun twist.
