Ingredients

  • 4 large Hershey bars or 1 lb. milk chocolate
  • 2 pkg. chocolate chips
  • 1 tall can Milnot milk
  • 1/4 lb. butter or margarine
  • 1 pt. Marshmallow Creme
  • 4 1/2 cups sugar
  • nuts (if desired)

Instructions

  1. Mix together pieces of chocolate bars, chocolate chips, and Marshmallow Creme.
  2. Add the milk, butter, and sugar to a saucepan and heat until smooth and melted.
  3. Combine the melted mixture with the chocolate and marshmallow mixture, stirring until well blended.
  4. Pour into a greased pan and chill until set before cutting into squares.

Tips & Substitutions

For the smoothest fudge, ensure your chocolate bars are broken into small pieces for even melting. You can substitute dark chocolate for a richer flavor or use almond milk instead of Milnot for a dairy-free option. If you prefer a nutty texture, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the mixture before pouring it into the pan. Remember to stir constantly while melting to avoid burning.

Serving Suggestions

Cut the fudge into small squares for easy serving, and consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. It also makes a great addition to gift baskets or as a sweet treat alongside coffee or tea. For a festive touch, serve alongside slices of Summer Lemon Butter Cake at gatherings.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you live in a warmer climate, refrigerate to prevent melting. To reheat and soften, place the fudge in the microwave for just a few seconds or let it sit at room temperature for a while before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different types of chocolate?

Yes, you can mix different types of chocolate such as dark, semi-sweet, or even white chocolate to create unique flavors. Just adjust the sugar content slightly if you're using a sweeter chocolate to balance the overall taste.

What can I do if my fudge is too soft?

If your fudge turns out too soft, try placing it in the refrigerator for a few hours to firm it up. If it's still not setting, you may need to reheat it gently, adding a bit more sugar and re-cooking it to reach the proper consistency.

Can I make this fudge without Marshmallow Creme?

Yes, you can substitute Marshmallow Creme with a mixture of corn syrup and whipped egg whites to achieve a similar texture. Alternatively, you can use a homemade marshmallow fluff recipe if you prefer a more natural option.
