Best Ever Fantasy Fudge
Creamy but still a little flaky fudge made with Marshmallow Creme, chocolate chips and toasted nuts. This version of Fantasy Fudge only calls for 1 bag (12 oz) of chocolate chips. Some brands of chocolate chips only have 10 oz, so if you use any brand that does not come in a 12 oz bag, you'll need to make up for the missing 2 oz of chocolate with either more chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
Servings 3 pounds
Cost 5
Ingredients
- 3 cups sugar (580 grams)
- ¾ cup salted butter, softened and cut into chunks (180 grams)
- ⅔ cup evaporated milk
- 7 oz jar of Marshmallow Crème (210 grams)
- 1 bag semisweet chocolate chips, 12 oz (Ghirardelli brand)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup toasted chopped nuts (pecans) (Optional)
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper. For thicker fudge, use a 9-inch pan.
- Have all of your ingredients lined up and ready to go.
- Combine the sugar, butter and milk in a large (3 quart) heavy saucepan.
- Set the pan over medium heat and bring to a full rolling boil. When the boil starts, set the timer for 5 minutes and let boil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Stir until melted, then add marshmallow creme, nuts and vanilla. Beat with a heavy duty scraper or wooden spoon until blended.
- Pour fudge into the pan and tilt the pan back and forth to even the surface. Allow it to cool for several hours. It should start setting immediately, but it won’t be quite ready for cutting for a while. As mentioned in the blog post, it seems to taste better the second day.
