DESCRIPTION
Homemade fudge is way easier to make than I ever imagined. This fudge recipe uses no special tools and is ready to put in the fridge after only 10 minutes.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips (that’s about 2 cups)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch cake pan with foil. Set aside.
- Into a medium heavy-duty saucepan measure the sugar, heavy cream, butter and salt. Put over high heat and stir continuously until it comes to a boil. Use a rubber spatula for stirring so that you can get all around the bottom of the pot while also scraping down the sides regularly. When it reaches a boil keep it over high heat and keep stirring and scraping until it looks like melted marshmallows (or like whipped meringue), about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Add the marshmallows and stir until they are melted in. Add the chocolate chips and stir until smooth.
- Scrape into the prepared pan and smooth it out. Refrigerate until cold and set, about 2 hours.
- Use the edge of the foil to transfer the fudge to a cutting board. Invert it and peel off the foil. Cut into 6 strips in one direction and then 6 in the other, yielding 36 squares of fudge.
