Scale
Fudge Ingredients
- 6 cups granulated sugar
- 15 oz Marshmallow Fluff
- 18 oz Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup crushed pecans
- 1.5 cups butter
- 1.25 cups evaporated milk
- 1 tbs vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the pans: Grease or line two 9 x 13 inch baking pans with parchment paper to prevent the fudge from sticking and ensure easy removal after it sets.
- Melt butter and combine with evaporated milk and sugar: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the evaporated milk and granulated sugar, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely. Set a timer and continue stirring for 4 minutes to ensure the mixture is smooth.
- Add chocolate chips and vanilla: Lower the heat and stir in the gluten-free dark chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Keep stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated into the sugar mixture.
- Incorporate marshmallow fluff and pecans: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the marshmallow fluff thoroughly until fully mixed. Then add the crushed pecans and optional cherries if desired. If the mixture begins to thicken too quickly, briefly return it to low heat while stirring.
- Set the fudge: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking pans. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about an hour or longer until it firms up.
- Cut and serve: Once set, slice the fudge into squares or triangles as preferred. Store in a cool place or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Notes
- This fudge recipe is perfect for holiday seasons and makes a wonderful edible gift for family and friends.
- Using gluten-free dark chocolate chips keeps the fudge suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
- Chopped pecans add a delightful crunch but can be substituted with walnuts or omitted for nut-free fudge.
- To prevent the fudge from becoming too thick while mixing, keep the heat low and stir continuously.
- Cooling time can be extended in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process.
