This is a family favorite and I am always getting requests from family and friends for this yummy treat! It is easily adapted to make other flavors that will be listed at the bottom of the page.

You can also sprinkle this with chopped peppermint pieces or small candy bits while still warm.

Milk Chocolate Fudge

Milk Chocolate Fudge

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 7-ounce jar of marshmallow creme (or approximately 2 cups of mini marshmallows or 32 regular marshmallows)*
• 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips*
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

Line 8 x 8 pan with wax paper.

Combine marshmallow creme, sugar, milk, butter, and salt over medium heat.

Bring to a full boil. Boil for five minutes, stirring constantly.

Working quickly, remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips. Stir until melted and smooth.

Fold in nuts and vanilla.

Pour into the lined pan and chill for two hours.

Cut into 2-inch pieces and store in airtight containers.

Note: Can also be poured into cupcake liners for individual servings.

*If you use the marshmallows in place of the creme you may want to add another 1/2 cup of baking chips to your batch to help make the fudge a little firmer.

Other flavors:

Butter Pecan Fudge:

Replace chocolate chips with one cup of butterscotch chips and half a cup of white chocolate chips. Add half a cup of chopped pecans.

Peanut Butter Fudge:

Substitute peanut butter chips for chocolate chips. Use peanuts, if desired.

Peppermint Bark:

Use white chocolate chips. Omit vanilla and use 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract. Use 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies or crushed candy canes.

Use white chocolate chips. Omit vanilla.

In a separate bowl put 1 cup chocolate chips and 1-2 Tablespoons of red food coloring and 1/2 t. Vanilla.

After adding the white chips pour half of the mixture into the bowl with the chocolate chips and stir until mixed well.

Drop by spoonfuls into a greased pan. Then drop the white mixture in the pan.

Gently tap/shake your pan to remove air bubbles and then use a butter knife to swirl the two flavors together.

Let cool and enjoy!
