Fantasy Fudge Recipe (10 Minute Fudge)

Every year I make this special Fantasy Fudge recipe for the holidays. It’s fast, it’s easy and it’s my oldest son’s absolute favourite.

It only takes 10 minutes to get it ready, then just let it cool. Once it’s set, you can slice it up; small pieces work better.

This is a sweet sweet Fudge.

My son always gets a batch of this Fudge wrapped up as a Christmas present! Give it a try, I hope you will enjoy it.

Looking at the list of ingredients almost gives me a heart attack. This is so far removed from the way we usually eat.

Good thing this recipe only comes out at Christmas. This fudge is oh so delicious. But not healthy. Not at all.

 Fantasy Fudge Recipe

Ingredients:

3 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
12 oz (350 gram) bag of chocolate chips
7 oz (198 gram) jar of marshmallow creme
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp vanilla

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, butter and evaporated milk. Turn your element onto medium heat.

Stir the sugar, butter and milk and mix them together.

Bring the mixture to a boil. When it starts heating up, make sure you stir it the entire time it is cooking.

You don’t want it to start sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.

Once the mixture is at a full rolling boil, set the timer for 5 minutes. Keep stirring continuously; the mixture will begin to thicken.

You may need to turn the heat down a smidgeon; you don’t want the mixture burning on the bottom.

That’s why you need to stir the whole post constantly while cooking. And the more it boils, the more you need to be constantly stirring. 

After boiling the Fudge:

Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips. I use the semi sweet chips because we like our fudge chocolatey.

If you like the taste of mint, you could use half chocolate and half mint chips.

Add the jar of marshmallow creme, stir it again until the mixture is nice and smooth. Get all the marshmallow melted and mixed in.

Add the chopped nuts and the vanilla and stir until smooth.

I only had whole walnuts on hand so I put a handful of nuts in a baggie and crushed them with my rolling pin.

Worked like a charm!

Spoon the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 dish and pat it smooth using a spatula. Let it cool before slicing into squares.

The fudge is very rich, so you may want to cut small squares!

Store it in the pan covered, or in storage containers.

A great treat at Christmas time along with Gingerbread Boys and Dutch Boterkoek. This is the only time of the year we enjoy treats like this and that’s a good thing.
