Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup milk whole
  • ½ cup butter cut into pieces, unsalted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
  • 1 marshmallow cream from 7 oz jar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step No.1: Prepare the Pan

  1. Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.

Step No.2: Heat the Sugars and Milk

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.

Step No.3: Add Butter and Cook

  1. Add butter and salt, then continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 234°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.

Step No.4: Add Chocolate and Marshmallow Cream

  1. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until smooth.

Step No.5: Pour and Set

  1. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.

Step No.6: Slice and Serve

  1. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer storage.

Notes

  • Use a candy thermometer: Ensuring the mixture reaches 234°F is key for the perfect fudge texture.
  • Stir constantly: This prevents the sugars from burning and creates a smooth consistency.
  • Cool completely: Let the fudge set properly for the best texture.
  • Walnut Mackinac Fudge: Add ½ cup chopped walnuts for a crunchy twist.
  • Peanut Butter Fudge: Swirl in ¼ cup peanut butter before pouring into the pan.
  • Dark Chocolate Fudge: Substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
