Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier fudge, consider using a higher fat evaporated milk. If walnuts aren't your preference, try substituting with pecans or almonds for a different nutty flavor. Be sure to whisk constantly while boiling to prevent scorching, as this is key for a smooth texture. If you want to add a hint of flavor, consider folding in a tablespoon of almond extract after adding the vanilla.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for a delightful treat that pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. It’s also a perfect addition to any dessert platter or can be served alongside a slice of Grandma's Hickory Nut Cake for a sweet gathering. Consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a gourmet touch.
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 for up to two weeks. If you prefer to serve it chilled, simply take it out of the fridge 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a sugar substitute in this recipe?
While sugar substitutes can be used, they may affect the texture and consistency of the fudge. It's best to use a substitute specifically designed for baking to ensure the fudge sets properly. Experimenting with brands may yield different results, so be prepared for some trial and error.
Is it necessary to use marshmallow cream?
Marshmallow cream adds a unique texture and sweetness to the fudge. If you don't have it, you can create a substitute by mixing 3 tablespoons of corn syrup with 1/4 cup of whipped egg whites, but the flavor may differ slightly.
