My Fantasy Fudge Recipe (2024)

Jump to Recipe

A million years ago (when my mom was young)Krafthad an awesome Fantasy Fudge recipe on the back of their Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Crème jars that my mother swore by.

They have since changed the recipe and I have changed it just a hair more.

I make it for Christmas every year and always get told how smooth and creamy it is. So, this year I decided to share my recipe with you!

If you’re so super excited about the chocolatey goodness headed your way, be sure to check out these other easy fudge recipes. You’re sure to find a recipe you just need to make–to go with your fantasy fudge.

Because, let’s be honest, there’s nothing better than a soft bite of fudge melting in your mouth.

But whether or not you love fudge or “just like” it, you’re probably going to love this recipe. I mean, it’s so creamy and has none of the dryness that I’ve come to expect from store-bought fudge.

And that’s just not ok. Crumbly fudge can just go jump off a cliff. I want creamy, soft, melt-in-your-mouth fudge.

This is the recipe for that!

How to Make My Fantasy Fudge

Prep your pan by putting one spot of butter on the bottom, then adding some aluminum foil going each direction. If you’re curious, the one spot of butter keeps the foil from sliding around when you’re moving it, pouring the fudge in, whatever.

Also, be sure the sides of the foil are long enough to use as handles. This makes getting the fudge out of the pan MUCH easier! Then, just grease the foil with margarine, so that it’ll pull away from the fudge really easy.

Ok. So, when the pan is ready, set it aside and let’s start making this traditional fudge.

Just add butter, sugar and milk to a sauce pan and cook over medium heat, stirring until you bring it to a boil.

I absolutely love this fantasy fudge recipe. It's so simple but you get this amazing fudge in just a few minutes--that's just like mom used to make!

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
¾ cup butter
⅔ cup evaporated milk
1 12oz package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 7oz jar marshmallow creme
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lining with parchment paper.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter and evaporated milk stirring constantly until mixture begins to boil.
Once the mixture is at a boil, set the timer for 5 minutes and continue to stir constantly.
Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips, marshmallow cream and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
Pour into prepared baking pan and let the fudge set for at least 2-3 hours.
When it is time to slice the fudge, lift the entire block by using the edges of the parchment paper. Cut into small pieces and serve.
Stirring constantly helps prevent the sugars from crystalizing, which will make your fudge grainy. It’s important to stir constantly.
To cut fudge as cleanly as possible, heat a knife in hot water. Dry the knife, slice and wipe the knife before each new slice.
Fudge should be stored at room temperature, covered and can keep for a few days.
