Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring evaporated milk and sugar to a boil, stirring constantly to soft ball stage.
- Add chocolate chips and butter; stir well.
- Add Marshmallow Whip, nuts, salt, and vanilla; mix well.
- Pour into pans and allow to cool before cutting.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the perfect texture, ensure you bring the evaporated milk and sugar to a soft ball stage, which can be tested by dropping a small amount into cold water. If you want a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or replace them with dried fruit, which can provide a chewy contrast to the fudge.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into squares and serve on a decorative platter for a delightful dessert. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a festive touch, consider serving it alongside Grandmama'S Bread Pudding for a sweet dessert spread that will impress guests.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer, you can refrigerate the fudge to extend its freshness, but be sure to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften it slightly. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of evaporated milk?
While evaporated milk is ideal for this recipe due to its creaminess, you can substitute it with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option. Keep in mind that this may slightly alter the flavor, so choose a coconut milk that you enjoy.
What type of chocolate chips should I use?
You can use semi-sweet, dark, or even milk chocolate chips depending on your preference. For a unique twist, try mixing different types of chips, such as adding white chocolate into the mix for a layered flavor profile.
How can I make this recipe more festive?
To add a festive flair, consider incorporating spices like cinnamon or nutmeg into the fudge. You can also top the fudge with colorful sprinkles or drizzle melted chocolate over it for an attractive presentation, making it perfect for holiday gatherings.
