Ingredients
- 16 ounces milk chocolate chips
- 24 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- 7 ounce jar marshmallow fluff
- 4-1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 1-2 cups nuts (optional) chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Prepare a glass 9x13 baking dish by coating it in butter. Or, add a layer of aluminum foil with a few inches overhanging the dish. Then spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine both types of chocolate, room temperature butter, and marshmallow fluff. If adding nuts, do so now. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and evaporated milk. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Stirring constantly and continue to boil for 4 minutes.
- After 4 minutes, slowly pour the mixture over the chocolate in the bowl in 4 to 6 intervals, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared 9x13 baking dish. Allow the fudge to come to room temperature somewhere undisturbed. Cover and place the dish into the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight until the fudge has set. Bring the fudge back to room temperature before cutting and serving.
- The fudge will keep for 1 to 2 weeks at room temperature or around 2 to 3 weeks in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen (see notes below). Enjoy!
Notes
*This homemade chocolate fudge can also be frozen. Tightly wrap the cooled fudge in plastic wrap, then a layer or two of foil. Place in a freezer-safe ziplock bag or container with as much air as possible removed. The fudge will keep well for 2-3 months in the freezer.
*If your fudge looks like it has separated, is hard, or is grainy, return it back to the pan. Turn the heat on low and add a few teaspoons of water or heavy whipping cream. Add one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Usually, around 6 to 8 teaspoons is all you need. Stir continually while the chocolate heats back up slowly. Before long, the fudge should be smooth and the ingredients will be incorporated back together properly.
