Description
This easy, no-fail Marshmallow Fluff Fudge recipe delivers a creamy, dreamy sweet treat perfect for gifting or enjoying with family. Made with classic ingredients for a smooth finish.
Ingredients
- Butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick)
- Granulated Sugar: 2 cups
- Evaporated Milk: 2/3 cup (5 oz can)
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: 2 cups
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Marshmallow Fluff: 7 oz jar
Instructions
- Melt butter, sugar, milk: Combine the butter, granulated sugar, and evaporated milk in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil (approx. 5-7 minutes). The mixture should look cohesive and glossy.
- Boil mixture: Allow the mixture to boil gently for exactly 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. A candy thermometer will read 234-237°F (soft-ball stage), but it’s not strictly necessary for this forgiving Marshmallow Fluff Fudge. It should thicken slightly and smell subtly caramelized, a sign it’s coming along nicely.
- Off heat & add: Immediately remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the chocolate chips, the entire jar of Marshmallow Fluff, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously and continuously until everything is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, glossy, and well combined. There should be no lumps remaining.
- Pour & chill: Quickly pour the hot, creamy Marshmallow Fluff Fudge into a greased 9×13 inch pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to the corners. For gifting, pour directly into clean, heat-proof jars – a lovely Marshmallow Fluff Fudge Recipe on Jar Classic presentation!
- Set: Let the fudge cool at room temperature for at least an hour, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 2-3 hours, or until completely firm. Once set, slice into squares and enjoy your classic homemade treat.
Notes
Optional Add-ins & Swaps:
- Chopped walnuts or pecans: For a delightful nutty crunch in every bite.
- Mini marshmallows: Can be folded in right at the end for an extra chewy dimension.
- Different chocolate types: Feel free to experiment with dark, milk, or white chocolate chips for unique flavor variations.
- Sea salt flakes: A sprinkle on top just before chilling creates a wonderful sweet-and-salty contrast.
Quality Notes:
- Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the best, most authentic chocolate flavor.
- Full-fat evaporated milk ensures the creamiest classic fudge you can imagine.
- Pure vanilla extract makes a noticeable difference in the overall taste of your homemade treat.
- Ensure your Marshmallow Fluff is fresh for optimal texture and ease of mixing into your classic fudge.
Troubleshooting:
- If fudge doesn’t set: It likely needed a bit more boiling time or was stirred too much after adding the fluff. Try chilling it longer; sometimes that’s all it needs.
- If fudge is grainy: The sugar may not have fully dissolved, or it was overcooked. Make sure to stir well initially to avoid this.
