Ingredients
Instructions
- Let butter begin to melt in a heavy 3-quart saucepan.
- Brush the sides of the pan with melted butter.
- Add evaporated milk and sugar. Cook over medium-high heat to boiling, about 8 minutes, whisking constantly to dissolve sugar.
- Cook over medium-high heat, whisking frequently to soft ball stage, 236°F (about 12 to 15 minutes).
- Remove from heat.
- Add candy wafers, marshmallow cream, chopped nuts, and vanilla; stir until well blended.
- Pour into a well buttered 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan; cool and cut into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the perfect texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. If you can't find white chocolate wafers, feel free to substitute with chopped white chocolate bars. For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a sprinkle of nutmeg. Additionally, constantly whisking while cooking is crucial to prevent burning and ensure an even consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into bite-sized squares and serve it on a decorative platter for a festive touch. It pairs beautifully with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee, making it an excellent treat for holiday gatherings. For an added twist, try serving it with a side of Creamy Mandarin Salad for a refreshing contrast to the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Once the fudge has cooled completely, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep it fresh longer, refrigerate it for up to three weeks. To enjoy it warm, you can microwave individual pieces for about 10 seconds to soften them slightly before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate?
Yes, you can experiment with different types of chocolate, but keep in mind that using dark or semi-sweet chocolate will result in a richer flavor and darker color. Adjust the sugar accordingly if you use a sweeter chocolate.
What if my fudge doesn't set properly?
If your fudge doesn't set, it may not have reached the soft ball stage during cooking. You can reheat the mixture gently and cook it a bit longer until it reaches the correct temperature. Alternatively, you can pour it into a new pan and refrigerate it to firm up.
Can I add other mix-ins to the fudge?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative by adding dried fruits, chocolate chips, or even crushed candy canes for a festive twist. Just ensure that any additional mix-ins don’t exceed the overall volume of the ingredients.
