Thank you for posting this what a life saver!!! I really wanted fudge this year for Christmas and I couldn’t find any marshmallow creme in the stores! I live in Bolivia, so this was the perfect recipe! thanks again, it turned out really creamy and delicious.

Michelle – I'm sorry to hear that! Was it still soupy after you refrigerated it? I'm not sure what went wrong. Did you use a 14oz container of sweetened condensed milk? Was it still before the expiration date. I opened a can that had expired and it was really liquidy, so that could contribute maybe. Feel free to email me about if you want – I'm so sorry it didn't work out for you!

Tried this and it didn't turn out…followed directions like it said but still turned out soupy like.

Here's our tried and true recipe. It makes a TON, but it also freezes well.

4 1/2 c sugar
1 14oz. can evaporated milk (not condensed)
1 c butter
36 oz chocolate chips (this is 3 bags, use your favorite flavor--I use Ghirardelli's bittersweet for a super rich dark chocolate fudge)
1 package miniature marshmallows
2-3 c chopped nuts (optional)
1 T vanilla

Combine sugar and evaporated milk in a large heavy pan, boil 6 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in butter, chocolate, and marshmallows until melted and glossy (you might have to return to low heat briefly if it cools too fast to melt everything). Pour into well-buttered pan (I use a 1/2 sheet pan 18x10, sprayed well and lined with parchment). Cool, then refrigerate. Makes about 100 pieces. (I like to give it away in good-sized slabs instead of little pieces--it seems especially decadent. And if you save it until Valentine's Day, you can use a small cookie cutter to make little fudge hearts.)

Just to share a similar story-my great grandmother was the absolute queen of fudge. Even after she couldn't see to drive, she made absolutely amazing batches every time something special was happening. She passed away years ag, and I recently unearthed her recipe. Of course, I had to make it. Everything was going well, until the pot boiled over…and didn't stop. I ended up with a stove covered in molten chocolate sugar. I wanted to let it cool before I cleaned it up, and ended up using a straight razor to scrape it off the stovetop.

Megan - Thanks for the tip! I was wondering if the microwave would work. Definitely trying that next time :)

Amber Joy - Mint chips or extract would be so good in this!

Malar Gandhi - Thanks for letting me know. I definitely have had more than a few mishaps during these 12 days of cookies :)

Simply Life - Your comment made me smile. :) I'm not making a recipe every day, although sometimes it feels like it! I wish I had been better prepared in advance, but I've made quite a few over the last 12 days! And when some didn't turn out quite like I was hoping, I made even more! haha more on that in a future post. :)
