Quick & Easy Fudge Recipe

Posted on December 11, 2014 by Julie

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a sweet tooth. I cut way back on sweet goodies about 6 months ago but now it’s the holiday season and I’m indulging a little here and there. I love to bake and I can’t possibly resist all of my favorites but I am vowing not to go overboard this season.

One of my holiday staples is making this quick and easy fudge recipe:

It’s simple, delicious and it makes a great gift. I usually make two to three batches per season. That seems crazy, but it makes a great gift!

I save a little for us and then I give the rest away to teachers, friends and neighbors.

It is always a hit and the best part is it’s a no-fail fudge recipe. You won’t be fussing with a candy thermometer and your chance of success is very high!

I found the recipe online at allrecipes.com and made a few very simple adjustments to suit our tastes.

Ingredients

1 7 oz. jar marshmallow creme
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2/3 cups evaporated milk
1/4 cup butter
1/4 tsp. salt
3 cups Ghiradelli milk chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

Line an 8 x 8 inch pan with aluminum foil. Set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine marshmallow cream, sugar, evaporated milk, butter and salt. Bring to a full boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring.
Remove from heat and pour in chocolate chips. Stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour into prepared pan. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours or until firm.

Notes

The original recipe calls for 2 cups milk chocolate chips and 1 cup semi-sweet chips. The original also calls for 1/2 cup chopped nuts. I prefer fudge without nuts and I prefer the taste of all milk chocolate, so feel free to add/adjust to your own taste!
