Wicked Witch Fudge
This Wicked Witch Fudge is a spooky twist on an old fashioned fudge. Vanilla fudge tinted green and topped with witch sprinkles make it a fun treat for the holiday!
Homemade Fudge with Fluff
Fudge is such a yummy sweet treat. I love the creamy, sugary, squares that I eat every holiday season.
Not really knowing why, but I really only eat fudge during the holidays. I mean, fudge is delicious all year round and is so easy to make.
A lot of fudge recipes, the easy microwave versions use just two ingredients, sweetened condensed milk and chocolate.
I wanted to make my fudge the old fashioned way! This recipe doesn’t use sweetened condensed milk which I love. This is an old fashioned or traditional fudge recipe that you boil. It may have a few more steps, but it is totally worth it in the end.
To show you that fudge isn’t just for Christmas, I made a Halloween fudge recipe with marshmallow fluff that is not only festive but so cute with the adorable witch sprinkles I found!

Ingredients Needed
Sugar– Use white granulated sugar for this recipe.
Butter – Unsalted butter is best.
Evaporated milk – Do not use sweetened condensed milk or regular milk.
Vanilla extract – Real or imitation works just fine.
Marshmallow fluff – Also called marshmallow cream or creme. I use this in my Fruit Dip too!
White chocolate chips – Don’t use regular chips as it will affect the color.

How to Make Marshmallow Fluff Fudge
First: In a large bowl, combine the white chocolate and marshmallow cream. Butter the 9×13 dish.

Third: Pour the boiled sugar mixture over the fluff and chocolate. Stir to melt and combine. Pour in the vanilla and green food coloring.
Fourth: Pour into a 9×13 prepared pan. Decorate with witch or spooky sprinkles and candies. Cool and slice into 1 inch squares.

How long does it last?
Your old fashioned fudge will last up to 2 weeks at room temperature or up to 1 month in the refrigerator. Just be sure to keep it in an air-tight container so it doesn’t dry out.
Can I freeze it?
You can freeze your fudge in wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Store in a an air tight container for up to 6 months in the freezer.
Can I use marshmallows instead of fluff?
Yes, you can. Switch out the 7oz of fluff for a 10oz package of marshmallows.
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
It’s not a good idea. Margarine contains a lot of water which messes up the chemistry of the fudge and it might not set up as it should. I would always use a high quality butter.
Why is my fudge crumbly?
Crumbly or dry fudge comes from overcooking or over heating the sugar when boiling it. Fudge is made by forming tiny sugar crystals that stick together.
If the sugar crystalizes too quickly it forms large crystals which gives the fudge a crumbly texture.
Tapas Tips & Tricks
- When cutting into squares, use a plastic knife. The fudge doesn’t stick to it as bad as a metal one making smoother cuts.
- Use a candy thermometer or digital thermometer to make sure the temperature is correct.
- Make sure and use a 4 quart or larger pot when boiling the sugar mixture. It bubbles and pops and you don’t want to get burned.

I’m not sure what happened, I followed the recipe exactly and it didn’t turn out well at all. It was a gooey, sticky mess, that never became firm enough to cut. I ended up tossing it because it was too sweet and it instantly like melted when you tried to pick some up.
This fudge is seriously ADORABLE. Love it and love how easy it is to make fudge this way with the marshmallow cream! Such a fun treat!
I never had much luck making fudge until I found your recipe — thanks so much for all the tips and tricks, it was delicious!
Okay, this has to be the cutest, spookiest and best fudge ever and I love that you made it the old-fashioned way! I am making a batch just to bring to our young neighbors!
