How To Make easy, creamy fudge

  • Step 1
    Combine the sugar, evaporated milk and butter in a 3 quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Stir and boil 5 minutes over until candy thermometer reaches 234 degrees.
  • Step 2
    Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until they are melted. Add the marshmallow creme, vanilla and nuts and stir until smooth and creamy. Pour then press into a 9" x 13" x 2" pan. Cool completely before cutting into pieces.
  • Step 3
    Here are some other ideas for different flavors: For peanut butter fudge: omit chocolate chips and use peanut butter chips instead. Add 1/3 cup peanut butter when you add the chips. For mint chocolate chip fudge: omit the chocolate chips and use mint chocolate chips or 12 oz. chopped Andes mint candies. For white fudge: omit chocolate chips and use white chocolate instead. You can add dried cherries or cranberries for a twist instead of the nuts.
