How to make Fudge
Description
The fudge is prepared by boiling evaporated milk, sugar, and butter together in a double boiler until the mixture reaches 234°F, the firm ball stage for candy. Then, chocolate chips and marshmallow creme are mixed in off heat to create a glossy and smooth chocolate base. Vanilla extract adds flavor, and nuts can be stirred in for crunch and extra richness.
The mixture is poured into a lined pan to cool and set before cutting into small squares. This method ensures a creamy, firm fudge that holds its shape well but remains soft to bite. The recipe uses common candy-making techniques and produces a traditional chocolate fudge with a velvety texture and balance of sweetness.
Ingredients
- 5 oz evaporated milk can
- 3 cups sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 marshmallow creme
- 1 vanilla extract teaspoon
- 1 cup nuts optional, chopped
Instructions
- Line a 9"x13" with foil or parchment paper and spray with non stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Bring sugar, butter and evaporated milk to a rolling boil over medium heat in a double boiler. Boil for approximately 5 minutes (stirring constantly) until the mixture has a temp of 234 F on a candy thermometer.
- Then remove the mixture from heat and stir in chocolate chips and marshmallow creme. Stir until well combined and completely melted.
- Next add in the vanilla extract and mix well. If you are using nuts, add them at this time too.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and let cool completely.
- Lift the foil or parchment paper out of pan and cut into small squares.
- Enjoy!
