Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix milk and sugar in a saucepan.
- Bring to a rolling boil and cook for 10 minutes.
- Put chocolate chips, nuts, Marshmallow Creme, margarine, and vanilla in a large bowl.
- Pour the hot milk mixture over all and stir until smooth.
- Pour into a buttered pan and let it set.
Tips & Substitutions
Ensure your saucepan is large enough to prevent boiling over as the mixture expands. For a creamier texture, substitute half the margarine with butter. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or replace them with dried fruit. Remember to stir the mixture continuously to avoid burning.

Cut the fudge into small squares and serve as a delightful dessert or snack. It pairs beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. For a fun twist, consider using it as a topping for ice cream or incorporating it into desserts like brownies. Browse more American recipes for additional sweet treats.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate?
Yes, you can use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor. Just keep in mind that this will alter the sweetness of the fudge. You might want to adjust the sugar slightly to balance the flavors.
What can I use instead of margarine?
Butter is an excellent substitute for margarine, providing a richer flavor. You can also use coconut oil for a dairy-free option, though it may slightly change the taste and texture.
How do I know when the fudge is set?
The fudge is set when it feels firm to the touch and holds its shape when cut. This usually takes about 2-4 hours at room temperature. If you’re in a hurry, you can speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator.
