Combining butter, sugar, evaporated milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and vanilla extract, this fudge is simple to make and yields a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture that will delight fudge lovers of all ages.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 36 squares

Ingredients

Fudge Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter (1 and 1/2 sticks; do not use margarine)
  • 2 & 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup full-fat evaporated milk (do not use sweetened condensed milk)
  • 12 ounce package high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
  • 7 ounce jar marshmallow cream (also called marshmallow fluff)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal of the fudge. Lightly grease the lining to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine butter, sugar, and evaporated milk: In a medium heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the granulated sugar and evaporated milk, stirring continuously until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  3. Boil the mixture: Let the mixture boil gently for about 4 to 5 minutes while stirring constantly to prevent burning and ensure the sugar dissolves completely. This helps achieve the right fudge consistency.
  4. Add chocolate chips: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Incorporate marshmallow cream and vanilla: Add the marshmallow cream and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Stir vigorously until the mixture is glossy and combined evenly.
  6. Pour into prepared pan: Transfer the fudge mixture into the lined pan and spread evenly using a spatula.
  7. Chill the fudge: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until it is fully set and firm.
  8. Serve: Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the overhanging foil or parchment paper. Cut into small squares and enjoy your delicious homemade fudge.

Notes

  • Use full-fat evaporated milk, not sweetened condensed milk, for the right texture and flavor.
  • Be sure to stir constantly during boiling to avoid burning the mixture.
  • Allow the fudge to fully set in the refrigerator before cutting for clean squares.
  • You can customize the fudge by adding nuts, butterscotch chips, or other flavor extracts if desired.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
