See’s Fudge
Description
This fudge recipe starts by heating sugar, evaporated milk, and marshmallows together until reaching the soft-ball temperature (234–240°F), which ensures the fudge will set properly without graininess. Butter, semi-sweet chocolate, and vanilla are prepared separately and combined with the hot syrup. The mixture is beaten until thick and dull in appearance, indicating proper crystallization and creaminess.
Chopped nuts are then stirred in for added crunch and flavor. The fudge is poured into a buttered pan and chilled until firm. The marshmallows contribute to the smooth, creamy texture, while the chocolate and vanilla provide depth of flavor.
This homemade fudge can be sliced and shared as a rich treat or gifted during holidays.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces butter
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups sugar
- 5 3/4 ounces evaporated milk

Instructions
- Combine the butter, chocolate, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Place the sugar, evaporated milk, and marshmallows in medium saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Monitor the temperature using a candy thermometer.
- When the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (234–240°F), reduce the heat to low and cook for 6 minutes, and do not stir the fudge during this cooking time.
- Pour the hot mixture into the bowl with the butter, chocolate, and vanilla.
- Beat with an electric mixer until the fudge is thick and dull (this doesn't take long).
- Stir in the nuts.
- Pour the fudge into a lightly buttered 8x8-inch baking pan.
