Best Chocolate Fudge Recipe
Description
The Best Chocolate Fudge Recipe begins by cooking sugar, butter, and evaporated milk to a rolling boil, carefully timed to reach a candy thermometer reading of 212°F to ensure proper consistency. Chocolate chips and marshmallow creme are then stirred in until melted and combined, creating a smooth chocolate base. Vanilla extract adds depth of flavor. Chopped walnuts can be included for added texture.
The mixture is poured into a foil-lined pan, cooled completely, then cut into small squares. The resulting fudge is dense, creamy, and sweet with a slight chew from the marshmallow creme and optional nuttiness from walnuts.
This fudge is a traditional confection ideal for sharing or gifting and can be stored until ready to serve.
Walnuts are optional and can be omitted or substituted according to personal taste.
Ingredients
- 3 cups sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk (5 ounce can)
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips (12 ounce bag)
- (1) 7 oz. marshmallow creme Jet Puffed brand
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup walnuts optional, chopped
Instructions
- Line a 9"x13" with foil and spray with non stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a double boiler, bring sugar, butter and evaporated milk to a rolling boil over medium heat. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly (temp should read 212 Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer).
- Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips and marshmallow creme. Stir until completely melted.
- Add vanilla and mix well. If you are using nuts, add them now, too.
- Pour into prepared pan and let cool completely.
- Lift foil out of pan and cut into small squares.
Notes
- Walnuts are optional and can be omitted or replaced by other nuts or skipped entirely.
- Cook the sugar mixture to the proper temperature (212°F) for the correct fudge consistency.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
