This Easy Christmas Fudge is a no-fail recipe everyone will love! Made with marshmallow fluff and chocolate chips, it’s the perfect holiday treat!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
  • 1 (12-ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts, optional ( (we like pecans))

Directions

  1. 1

    Butter an 8x8-inch baking dish or spray it with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.  Combine the sugar, milk, and butter in a medium sized pot and cook on medium-low heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Be sure to stir frequently.

  2. 2

    Once it has reached the boiling point, boil for 5 minutes. Stir constantly.  Seriously. Constantly.  The mixture can scorch and you don't want that.  You can even adjust the heat down some to maintain a boil without it scorching.  The goal here is to get the mixture to the soft ball temp of 235°F. Having a candy thermometer is a bit of an insurance policy, but it's not required if you cook it per the instructions.

  3. 3

    Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips and marshmallow creme. Stir until mixture is creamy and smooth.  Add the chopped nuts (reserving a few to sprinkle on the top) and mix well.  

  4. 4

    Pour into the prepared baking dish.

  5. 5

    Cool completely and cut as desired.
