Milk Chocolate Fudge

Hannah Lucio

This is an amazing and easy fudge recipe that I just made yesterday. I made a different recipe last week and it was disgusting! That recipe called for baking chocolate and it was gross. This is going to be my go-to recipe when I want fudge. It is really creamy, smooth and melt in your mouth fudge. I always looked forward to the holidays when my mom would make fudge and now I can have a little taste of “home” on the East Coast. Here is the easy recipe, I hope you get to enjoy it as much as we do.

 

Ingredients:

2 1/2 Cups White Granulated Sugar

3/4 Cup Butter (softened, it makes it easier and faster to cook)

2/3 Cup Evaporated Milk

2 Cups Milk Chocolate Chips (I use Nestle Toll House=Yum!)

7 Ounce Jar Marshmallow Cream (I always use Kraft)

1 tsp Vanilla

Directions:

  1. Line a pan with parchment paper. Typically you would use a 9 inch square pan or in my moms case a cookie sheet for thinner fudge. I used my Cast Iron pan and it was perfect for me. It is a non-traditional shape for fudge.
  2. Use a heavy saucepan (I used my Pioneer Woman dutch oven, I’m trying to not cook with metal). Over high heat, combine; Sugar, butter and evaporated milk. Use a wooden spoon (the best for fudge) to stir slowly until butter melts. Make sure to scrape the sides of pan so you do not leave sugar crystals.
  3. Bring to a full rolling boil, stir constantly with your wooden spoon. Once it is at a full rolling boil turn the heat down to medium and cook it for 5 minutes. Make sure you stir constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom and to cook it evenly.
  4. Once mixture is done with the 5 minutes,  test to see if it is done. Fill a little glass cup with ice old water and drop a tsp of the very hot sugar mixture in it. If the sugar mixture can roll into a ball then it is done.
  5. Remove the mixture from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Add the marshmallow cream an vanilla and mix really well until smooth. Pour into prepared pan right away.
  6. Let fudge cool down and try not to eat to much of it before then. Ha ha I really love warm fresh fudge so this is VERY hard for me!
  7. Once it is cooled take out of pan with the parchment paper, cute and serve. Make sure to really cover the fudge to prevent it from getting hard.
