Every year I make this special Fudge. It’s fast, it’s easy and it’s my oldest son’s absolute favourite. He always gets a batch of this Fudge wrapped up as a Christmas present!
Give it a try, I hope you will enjoy it
Fantasy Fudge
- 3 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup margarine
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- One 12 oz (350g) bag of chocolate chips
- One 7 oz (798g) jar Marshmallow creme
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tsp vanilla
Looking at these kinds of ingredients almost gives me a heart attack. This is so far removed from the way we usually eat. Good thing this recipe only comes out at Christmas.
NOTE: Disregard the bag of miniature marshmallows – although they are in the picture, they are NOT in the recipe.
Combine the sugar, margarine ( I used butter) and evaporated milk in a large saucepan. It doesn’t look like much now, but it sure will later.
On medium heat, bring it to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
Continue boiling for 5 minutes, keep stirring all the time so the bottom doesn’t burn!
Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips.
Once they chips are melted, add the jar of marshmallow creme.
Add the nuts and vanilla and stir well. It’s really starting to look good now – usually at this point, I stick a finger in there. If anyone catches me, I just assure them it’s quality control.
Pour into a greased 13 x 9 inch pan. Cool at room temperature, then cut into squares. Makes 3 lbs. – every single one of them guaranteed to land on your hips!
Fight with the children over who gets to lick the pan and spoon.
