This fudge is virtually foolproof and so creamy you won't believe it. I've searched for years for the richest fudge, and this one does it for me. You can add just about anything you like to customize it.—Barbara Miller, Oakdale, Minnesota

My Christmas Fudge

sugar

(12 ounces) evaporated milk

butter, cubed

(11-1/2 ounces each) milk chocolate chips

marshmallows

unsweetened chocolate, chopped

walnuts,

vanilla extract

white baking chocolate, melted

OK, re-did the recipe but altered it and it tastes like See's candy fundge (that's why I've changed my rating from 3 stars to 5 stars)!!  Smooth, but with my changes.  My changes: 3 c sugar, use semisweet choc chips (not milk chocolate), 4 c marshmallows, and leave out the 2 oz unsweetened chocolate; save the money and leave out the 4oz of white choc (it's only a decoration and doesn't enhance the taste).  Once the pot is transferred off the heat, add all ingredients per the recipe but use a mixer to blend it smooth.  Mix it on high for at least 5 minutes (or more).  Do everything else per the recipe - and its perfect!

DO NOT STIR AFTER SUGAR IS BOILING!!! This is the biggest flaw in how the recipe is written out. If you stir it WILL seize on you and be gritty. Otherwise this recipe is SOOOO good. Best fudge I've ever had and my grandma did the old school fudge method that is outrageously good...this is better than that by a good bit I'm sad and delighted to say. It's so easy once you get it down and DON'T STIR THE SUGAR AND MILK MIXTURE AFTER IT BOILS!!!

Although I had no issues making the recipe as some did, I simply did not care much for the flavor of this fudge.  It was simple to make and set up perfectly. Perhaps a darker chocolate to give it more flavor?

I'm a regular baker and have made numerous kinds of fudge. I figured I'd give this one a try since it got such great reviews.   Someone please tell me why both times I attempted this one, the chocolate seized?  The first time I thought it was because I put the marshmallows and chocolate in at once, so the second time i added the chocolate chips slowly before adding the rest.  But it seized before I had a chance to add all the chips.  Why???

Follow the directions and you will be pleased. This is my first time making fudge and it was delicious.  Be sure to get all the sugar granules  off the side of the pan as you stir.  I like semi sweet chocolate chips so you can substitute them, or dark chocolate whichever you prefer.

This was very easy to prepare (no candy thermometer needed!).  I used chopped hazelnuts instead of walnuts, which worked out very well.  Also, I used 4 oz of the bittersweet chocolate and cut back a tad on the milk chocolate for a slightly richer chocolate flavor.  This was tasty and made enough to last the entire holiday season.  Thanks for a great recipe!

Great fudge! I made it today and it was so super easy to make! I made mine without nuts as my family doesn't care for them! Still a great yummy fudge!  No thermometer needed.

I've been making this fudge for years....My children expect it for a gift every year. I've been using the special dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate for the past few years and like that even better....I use disposable 8" cake pans with lids.....pour half a batch in each pan for gift  giving.  Butter the pans well first.  Makes it very easy. Pecans are my nuts of choice.I don't do the while chocolate drizzle.

I wish I had the success everyone else had which is why I gave 2 stars for possible user error? But this recipe is not fool proof! And I love baking! Use to stay up from 10 to 4am just baking before I had my daughter. The sugar would not melt I boiled past the 5 minutes because I could tell it was still gritty and it stayed that way.... Maybe add water? but I was scared it would burn if I waited much longer so I started mixing in the ingredients  after 10 minutes of slow bubbling. The whole thing is super gritty! It's because of the sugar I've never made fudge with sugar in it but thought this recipe would be good. I'm throwing it out :(. Wasted money! Wish it were salvageable not happy.

<p>This was the best fudge ever! Made it for christmas gifts, and it was delicious. Tasted like a brownie!</p>

Best fudge recipe ever....make sure to use medium heat and I only stir occasionally. Stiring too much creates crystals which causes gritty fudge.

I used to make this fudge years ago and has been sometime since last made. I was given this exact same recipe when I got engaged  over 36 years ago...back then the recipe was known as "Mamie Eisenhower's Million Dollar Fudge".  Always a hit with just about anyone that has a piece. Great gift during the holidays!

Great fudge!  My family said it was the best fudge I ever made.

My husband and I have been testing recipe after recipe and this one is perfect. We omitted the walnuts for some fudge without nuts and some with pecans. My only suggestion would be to coat the inside sides of the Dutch oven with butter to keep sugar crystals from clinging to the pan. Thanks for the easy perfect fudge recipe!!! 5 Star for sure!

Just a question, with all the milk chocolate morsels in this fudge why do you need the 2 ounces of unsweetened chocolate?

I followed this recipe as written and the result was a slightly grainy texture and too soft.  I prefer a darker chocolate flavor.  To me I could have just eaten the chocolate chips as that is what it tasted like.

This is absolutely the best chocolate fudge I have ever had and so easy to fix!!  I will never use any other recipe.

Delicious - used two small marsh mellow creme jars - was out of marshmellows yum yum

YUM... used mint extract instead of vanilla and semi-sweet chips. So good.

This fudge recipe is a keeper. I have been trying to find one that my family loves for years and this is it. It turns out great and doesn't have to be refrigerated. Nice firm creamy texture.

Great recipe!  Easy to make and turns out smooth and creamy.

I made this fudge to give as gifts, but I loved it so much that I made another batch to keep at home. I used toasted pecans instead of walnuts and omitted the white chocolate altogether. This is definitely a recipe that we will use over and over.
