Fantasy Fudge is a classic dessert made for a special occasion or even a regular day during the week. Make a double batch and give out as edible gifts!
Add the sugar, butter and evaporated milk to a medium sized pot over medium heat.
Stir until melted and combined.
Bring to a boil and allow to boil for 5 minutes, without stirring, being careful not to let it boil over.
Turn down the heat and add the marshmallow creme, chocolate and salt. Stir until totally combined.
Turn off the heat.
Add the walnuts and fold into the fudge mixture until totally combined.
Pour mixture into a 9x9” pan that has been lined with parchment paper.
Allow to rest, cool and set completely (about 3 hours).
Remove from the pan using the parchment paper to help and lay out on a board.
Cut into 1-2” cubes. Enjoy!
Notes
Line the pan with parchment paper for easier lifting out. Don't use plastic wrap or wax paper for this part.
Nonstick aluminum foil also works well.
I haven't tested this with individual marshmallows but I have read other posts that say the mini marshmallows will work but it will take longer to melt.
If you boil for the full 5 minutes, you won't need a candy thermometer.
For freezing, I do recommend layering sheets of wax paper between the layers of fudge to keep them from sticking.
