The Old-Fashioned Fudge Recipe Everyone Will Love (Page 2 ) | April 13, 2024

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Prepare Your Pan

1. Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2: Cook the Fudge Mixture

1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and salt over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil.
2. Once boiling, continue to stir and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature, aiming for the soft ball stage at around 234°F to 240°F (112°C to 116°C).
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
4. Fold in the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract until well combined. If adding nuts, gently mix them in at this stage.

Step 3: Set and Chill

1. Pour the smooth fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
2. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, then transfer the pan to the refrigerator to chill for an additional 2-3 hours or until firm.

Step 4: Slice and Enjoy

1. Once chilled and set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan onto a cutting board.
2. With a sharp knife, cut the fudge into bite-sized squares or your desired shapes.
3. Serve and savor each velvety bite of old-fashioned fudge goodness.
