Aunt Teen’s Creamy Chocolate Fudge

Ingredients:

  • 1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow creme (like Marshmallow Fluff)
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ⅔ cup evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk)
  • ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips (for extra creaminess)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pan

  • Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper or foil. Lightly grease it for easy removal.

2. Combine Base Ingredients

  • In a medium saucepan, combine:
    • marshmallow creme
    • sugar
    • evaporated milk
    • butter
    • salt
  • Stir over medium heat until the mixture begins to boil.

3. Boil and Stir

  • Once boiling, cook and stir constantly for 5 minutes (set a timer!). Mixture should thicken slightly and become glossy.

4. Remove from Heat & Add Chocolate

  • Take the pan off the heat.
  • Immediately stir in:
    • semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • milk chocolate chips
    • vanilla extract
  • Stir vigorously until everything is completely melted and smooth.

5. Add Nuts (Optional)

  • If using, fold in the chopped nuts now.

6. Pour & Set

  • Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Let cool at room temperature for 30–60 minutes, then refrigerate for 2–4 hours or until firm.

7. Cut & Serve

  • Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment or foil.
  • Cut into 1-inch squares and enjoy!
