Easy Fudge Recipe | Milk Chocolate Fudge

This easy fudge recipe is perfect for the holidays or any occasion! When you plan your holiday baking for this year, be sure to include this quick and easy fudge!

One of our favorite family Christmas traditions is making treat boxes for neighbors and friends.

We look forward to spending time together in the kitchen and making an assortment of Christmas cookies and Christmas candy.

Then we package them all up in festive tins and deliver them to friends.

Sometimes we vary the recipes we use, but we always make sugar cookies and this fudge. Those two things are always part of the plan.

Easy Fudge Recipe

This particular fudge has a milk chocolate flavor, but it’s still very rich.

The best part (other than eating it!) is how simple the recipe is.

The hardest part is waiting for the fudge to firm up in the refrigerator after making it! We all have a hard time waiting for it!

Ingredients Needed to Make Easy Fudge

Here are the fudge ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe.

• 1/4 cup butter
• 2-1/2 cups sugar
• 5-oz can evaporated milk
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 7 oz. jar marshmallow creme
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips (you can also substitute dark chocolate)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Line a 9″x 9″ square baking pan with foil. Grease foil lightly (I use butter for this) and set pan aside.

2. Combine butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and salt in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Stir the mixture occasionally, until it comes to a rolling boil. Then reduce the heat slightly, and boil, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.

3. Remove from heat.

4. Add marshmallow creme, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until well mixed.

5. Spread in prepared pan,  and chill for 2-3 hours (or until firm) in the refrigerator.

6. Remove fudge from pan (by lifting the foil out of the pan), and peel off the foil.

7. Cut into small squares.
