Ingredients Needed

Chocolate – You will want to use white chocolate and semisweet chocolate for this recipe. I recommend using quality chocolate.

Sugar – Granulated sugar is used to of course add sweetness but also create texture to the fudge.

Butter – Unsalted butter is what I used. Make sure it is real butter and not margarine.

Heavy Cream – Heavy cream is used to help add incredible richness to the fudge. I find it is a secret weapon for the fudge.

Marshmallow Creme – Reach for this in the plastic container. It is going to add a bit of a different texture compared to marshmallows would.

Vanilla Pudding – A little pudding is going to help add that cream pie flavor to the fudge that gives it that stand-out flavor.

Vanilla – A splash of vanilla extract is going to elevate all the flavors.

Cocoa Powder – Unsweetened cocoa powder will help add a chocolate flavor even richer.

Oil – A little vegetable or canola oil will be needed for mixing in with the topping to help the chocolate set up.

Tips For Making Fudge

Quality Chocolate

Make sure to use quality chocolate for this recipe. You are going to find that the chocolate is the stand-out flavor of the fudge. So make sure that you use quality, especially in the white chocolate. I find that white chocolate that is of cheaper quality will have a different flavor.

Line Pan

Make sure to line your pan with parchment paper so that you can easily remove the fudge once it is set up. Then you can slice and create those perfect squares to serve up your friends and family.

Allow Mixture To Cook

Once your mixture comes to a boil make sure you lower the heat to low and cook stirring constantly. This is important to not burn the mixture but allow it to cook down the way it needs. If you skip this step you will not get the right texture to the fudge.

Testing The Mixture

After it has cooked in the pan for a while you can add ice water to a container, then take a little of the fudge and drop into the cup. If you grab the mixture and it is a fudge-like texture then you are done cooking and can move on to the next steps.

Working Fast

After you get done cooking the fudge on the stovetop, you will find the next steps are some that need to move swiftly. The reason being is fudge can set up pretty fast so make sure to work quickly and have ingredients ready to grab and use.

Tips for Slicing Fudge

I find that using a plastic knife is a great way to slice fudge with clean slices. I also find that you might like to use dental floss. It slices through the fudge smoothly as well. So feel free to use either method.

Candy Thermometer

If you have a candy thermometer you can check the doneness when it reaches 234 degrees. Just feel free use a thermometer if you own one.

Storing

You can store your fudge for 3-4 days at room temperature on the counter. Or you can extend the life for an extra day or two by storing it in the fridge in a sealed container.

The other option is freezing the fudge for 2-3 months. Just place it in a freezer container or freezer bag. I do recommend if you stack the fudge you can use wax paper between stacking.
