Fantasy Fudge Recipe
Originally found on a container of Marshmallow Creme, this Fantasy Fudge Recipe has become a Christmas staple in many homes. My recipe tweaks the ingredients just slightly to make for a more quality fudge while still remaining that classic dessert we all know and love.

Ingredients
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- ⅔ cups butter (about 1 ⅓ sticks)
- ⅔ cups evaporated milk (5 oz can)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 7 oz marshmallow creme
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Spray a 9-inch square pan with baking spray and line with parchment paper, so that there is overhang on both sides (for easy lifting). The baking spray is optional, but helps the paper stick better.
- In a large saucepan over medium high heat, bring butter, sugar and evaporated milk to a boil while stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Continue to stir constantly and boil for 5-10 minutes until until candy thermometer reaches 234° F. It will be boiling hard and violently. Remove from heat.
- Stir in vanilla extract, chocolate chips and marshmallow creme until well combined and melted. At this point you could also add in nuts if desired (like walnuts or pecans).
- Pour into prepared pan, using an offset spatula to spread out evenly.
- Cool completely at room temperature, about 3 hours.
- Lift fudge from pan and cut into 1-inch cubes.
