This is the best Marshmallow Creme Fudge Recipe
This is seriously the best chocolate fudge recipe. Ever. It has been in my family for years and my dad always makes it during the holidays. It isn’t the typical recipe with sweetened condensed milk, it takes slightly more effort but it is seriously worth every minute.
Marshmallow Fluff Fudge Recipe Ingredients
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Marshmallow cream
- Butter
- Sugar
- Evaporated milk
- Vanilla
How to make Fudge with Marshmallow Fluff
- In a heatproof bowl, combine chocolate chips, butter, and marshmallow cream. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, combine evaporated milk and sugar. Stir until well mixed.
- Heat to a rolling boil and continue to boil for 6 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Pour over chocolate chips, butter, and marshmallow cream. Stir until smooth and no more lumps remain.
- Add vanilla and stir until combined.
- Pour into a greased or lined 9×13 pan.
- Refrigerate overnight, or at least until set.
The recipe happens in three easy steps. The first step is really just dumping the chocolate chips, butter, and marshmallow cream together. I always recommend getting the best quality ingredients you can for making candies, it really matters!
This chocolate fudge recipe says to bring the milk and sugar to a rolling boil, that means the boil doesn’t stop even when the mixture is being stirred.After it’s boiling comes the hardest part of this recipe – waiting and stirring while the sugar and evaporated milk boil! If your stovetop gets super hot and takes a while to cool down when you turn down the heat, I recommend having two burners on, one for getting the mixture boiling and then one on lower heat for continual boiling.
Also…use a bigger pot than I did in the video. Hi. My name is Alli, and I’m a food blogger.
Ahem.
After the mixture is boiled, you simply pour it onto the chocolate chips, butter, and marshmallow cream and stir until it’s smooth.
And again, if you’re a pro like me, you try to remove it from the pan way too soon and create a bunch of crinkles in the top because you want to finish your video and eat some.
Hi. My name is Alli and I’m a food blogger.
So when you do it the right way {like…maybe follow the chocolate fudge recipe} yours will be smooth on top.
Slice and enjoy!! It’s seriously better than anything I’ve eaten from a store. You can add anything you’d like: nuts, peppermint, sprinkles, anything you want! If you’re looking for more fun dessert recipes, check out my Sables Cookies or my Basic Chocolate Cake Recipe!

How to store Marshmallow Fluff Fudge
The best way to store marshmallow fluff fudge is in the refrigerator. This will ensure it stays set up and won’t melt. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Marshmallow Cream Fudge FAQs
Can you use marshmallows instead of marshmallow creme in fudge?
No, you should not substitute marshmallows for marshmallow creme. Marshmallows will give the fudge a different texture and do not have the same ingredients as marshmallow creme or fluff.
Why is my marshmallow fudge grainy?
If your marshmallow fudge is grainy, it is because the sugar didn’t get a chance to dissolve all the way. it is important to follow the boiling steps in the recipe precisely for this reason.
Can you freeze marshmallow fudge?
Yes, you can freeze marshmallow fudge. I recommend wrapping small portions in plastic wrap and then freezing in an airtight container or bag.

Notes
A standard can of marshmallow cream is usually 7 ounces, I don’t worry about measuring it. I get the majority out of the can and leave whatever is left, which is close to 2 ounces.
Nuts are obviously optional and can be replaced with whatever mix-ins you like (chopped peppermint, cherries, etc.)
Use at least a 3-quart saucepan for the evaporated milk and sugar mixture to avoid boiling over.
A rolling boil is when the mixture is boiling and doesn’t stop when stirred (reference video).
