Never-Ever-Fail Chocolate Fudge

My mother-in-law saw this recipe on the Today Show (Judith Chote) back in 2004.  She decided to make it and brought me some.  I was hooked!  It is sooooooo good!!!  🙂 

Never-Ever-Fail Chocolate Fudge

12 oz. Bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 C. Toasted pecans, chopped  (or whatever nut you prefer)
10 T. Unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 T. Pure vanilla extract
20 Lg. Marshmallows
4 C. sugar
2 – 5 oz. cans Evaporated milk

Combine the chocolate, nuts, butter and vanilla in a large heat-proof bowl.  Set aside.

Place the marshmallows, sugar, and evaporated milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.  Stirring constantly, bring to a boil.  Continuing to stir, boil for exactly 6 minutes.

Remove from the heat and immediately pour the marshmallow mixture into the chocolate mixture; beat constantly until creamy.  Quickly pour into the prepared pan or platter, pushing slightly with the back of a wooden spoon to spread  fudge evenly.

Cool for at least one hour before cutting into pieces.  Serve at room temperature.    (I actually store mine in the fridge.)

Give this recipe a try and share with friends, neighbors, or strangers!  They will love you forever!

  1. Tiffany…I just wrote the recipe out and in it it says “”pour into the prepared pan or platter”…is there a step missing? Prepared how??

  2. No, that’s how the recipe read. I would lightly grease whatever dish you plan on pouring the fudge into. Sorry that wasn’t more clear! 🙂
