This fantasy fudge recipe is based on the original Kraft marshmallow creme fudge. Rich chocolate, creamy marshmallow creme and crunchy walnuts make it a holiday classic.

Ingredients

3 cups granulated sugar
¾ cup salted butter , see notes
⅔ cup evaporated milk
2 cups chocolate chips , I used semi-sweet
7 ounces Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme , see notes
1 cup chopped walnuts , optional
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Line a square pan: Line a 9x9 square pan with parchment paper.
Boil: In a large saucepan, combine 3 cups sugar, 3/4 cup butter and 2/3 cup evaporated milk. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil and cook until it comes together (about 5 minutes). It should reach 233°F with a candy thermometer. Stir constantly to prevent scorching.
Stir in chocolate: Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
Add in the jar of marshmallow fluff, the 1 cup of walnuts and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir until all combined.
Pour into prepared pan and smooth out with a rubber spatula. You can optionally add some extra walnuts to the top. Refrigerate for 2 hours, until set.
Cut and serve: Score the top into 5x5 squares with a knife before cutting. Cut and serve.

Notes

Butter: The original recipe calls for margarine, however we prefer salted butter. If you use unsalted butter, add in a pinch of salt.

Marshmallows: You can also use 1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows instead of fluff.

Storage: Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Place parchment or wax paper between the layers to prevent sticking. If your kitchen is warm, store it in the refrigerator.

Freezing: Wrap individual squares in wax paper or plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw in the refrigerator while still wrapped.
