Original Fantasy Fudge Recipe Fudge
I got this recipe off a Kraft Jet Puff Marshmallow Creme jar.
I make this fudge this time of year..
Ingredients
ORIGINAL FANTASY FUDGE RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup evaporated milk
2 cups semi chocolate chips (I used Tollhouse)
1 jar of marshmallow crème, Kraft jet puffed 7 oz. jar
1 tsp. vanilla
INGREDIENTS
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup evaporated milk
2 cups semi chocolate chips (I used Tollhouse)
1 jar of marshmallow crème, Kraft jet puffed 7 oz. jar
1 tsp. vanilla
Directions
DIRECTIONS
Grease a 9 X 13 ” pan. Alternative and much easier is to line a 9 X 13? pan with parchment paper, this allows a much quicker release and clean up.
In a medium pot, mix sugar, butter and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil using medium heat, stirring constantly so the sugar dissolves and the mixture does not burn on the bottom of the pot.
Remove the thickened mixture from the heat and add chocolate chips. Stir in the chocolate chips, add marshmallow crème and vanilla.
Pour into the prepared pan to cool.
For those who like nuts, this is a recipe which can easily be adjusted to 1/2 and 1/2 by using two smaller pans. After transferring 1/2 of the Fantasy Fudge mixture to one pan, add nuts to the remaining mixture and pour into a second prepared pan.
