This is wonderful! My first time making fudge, and it came out perfect. I cant find marshmallow creme here in England, so I used marshmallows. This has the best flavour and texture, this will be my Christmas fudge recipe from now on!

Used pecans instead of walnuts. This was just like the fudge my grandmother made during Christmas. Excellent recipe! Thanks!

I had high hopes for this fudge based on the reviews and the fact that it's also on the back of the marshmallow creme jar. Therefore I went ahead and made a double batch...big mistake! I didn't realize how much sugar was going to be used once doubling the recipe, 6cups is an insane amount of sugar, it filled up my medium mixing bowl!! I tried to follow the instructions exactly, but something must have gone wrong. The fudge was very gritty, it felt like you were crunching on sugar. Even if the consistency had been good, it was just too mind numbingly sweet. I just hate the thought of wasting things, but the entire two-batches went in the trash. I tried another recipe (Aunt Teens Creamy Fudge). It used a lot less sugar & butter, but it was fabulous. Smooth, creamy and the perfect fudge taste.

I was amazed that this fudge lasted so long because it tastes so good. The answer to why it lasted so long though is because it is so rich that you can only eat a small piece at a time. It was easy to make and tasted fantastic!

Incredible! I used a 12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chips instead of the squares (per other reviews). I also "stole" an idea from another reviewer for a different fudge recipe and added 4 chopped up bars of Snickers instead of nuts (I think next time I'll use 6 bars). After lots of experimenting, I've finally found my fudge recipe!!

DEFINITELY use semi-sweet or even dark chocolate chips! Ding dong me had everything on hand, but had milk-chocolate chips and that's what I used and it was just too sweet. Kids liked it, though, they didn't mind. Also used Trader Joe's organic sugar which was a little bit on the grainy side, so the fudge had a granular texture. I will make again wtih the RIGHT ingredients and I will update my review! ;-)

This was my first time making fudge & this turned out GREAT! Everyone says it just melts in their mouth. I also doubled the recipe & put it in a 9x13" pan lined with foil. It was very thick. I used real butter because that is what I had on hand, boiled it for 4 minutes once it was at a steady rolling boil. I was afraid I wouldn't get it to the soft ball stage it needed to set - but it did! Thanks!

My standby fudge recipe too, like many other reviewers--only change I make is to use a 12 ounce bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of the baking chocolate. Chopping all that chocolate is a messy, time consuming hassle, and baking chocolate is much more expensive than chocolate chips when it's the same darn thing! I stock up on chips during the holidays when you can get them for 99 cents a bag, and the baking chocolate is like $2.59 for an 8 ounce package.

This is my favorite fudge. I make it every year for Christmas. Instead of the Bakers Chocolate I use a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

This is the best way to make fudge. I make it every year for gifts and for us to eat too. Glad you had the recipe in here. I couldn't find mine since we moved.

This is our main holiday fudge recipe. Only differences is that we double the recipe, boil for 5 minutes, and put it in a 9x13 pan to have a thick dense piece of fudge. Our other variations are Peanut Butter Fudge: Substitute peanut butter chips for the chocolate chips; add chopped peanuts. Vanilla Fudge:Use white chocolate chips; chopped pecans, and vanilla or almond extract. Maple Fudge: Use white chocolate chips; chopped walnuts (black walnuts are good), and maple extract. Cherry Fudge: Use white chocolate chips; 1/2 cup well drained chopped marachino cherries, 1/2 cup almonds chopped, vanilla or almond extract. We give these out to lots of people from the teachers to neighbors, friends, mailperson, ect..... DELISH and foolproof! Just don't make it on a damp day or it won't set, and use a WOODEN spoon, and have the stirring arm ready! ;o)

I have used this recipe before, when my children were young. it's the only way I make fudge, so I was glad to find it again on the Internet, as I have not made it in years. It is basically foolproof!

My mother has made this fudge every year since I was a child! I absolutely love it and haven't found anything like it. Now that I am a mother of three I decided to go searching for this recipe and I'm so happy to have it!
