Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com

[@maryannedeering1663]

Wow, this is the 1st time I have seen it made where you cook down the marshmallow cream instead of taking it off the stove and adding it along with the chocolate. Makes it so much easier. Thanks for that great tip. Much appreciated.

[@happygirl65]

First time I have seen the marshmallow cream added on the stove top as well. I’m going to try that next time.

[@wmoore2011]

one huge tip put the container of Marshmallow cream into the microwave for 30 seconds take it out the cream glides out!!!

[@carolynr2225]

I would be nervous to heat up the marshmallow cream in the plastic container.. I doubt the plastic container is microwave safe plastic and that could be toxic to eat if it's not.

[@chillytoes337]

I made this fudge years and years ago and my favorite uncle gave me the nicest compliment, he said it was "the best!". I'm going to make it again this year and share some of it with my neighbors! It really is THE BEST!

[@reddowg1164]

This is the fudge recipe my Mom has been making for 50 years and it's sooo freaking awesome

[@debiparkin3568]

Wow so many people complaining. If you don't like it don't make it.Stop insulting Stephanie fudge is supposed to be sweet and Rich ! Yes add the sugar .Stephanie your amazing thank you so much .

[@davidlindgren7605]

We're not insulting, but making comments on what we think are ways to improve it. Sweet and rich is one thing, but it can be done to excess. Two cups is excessive. Maybe you don't care about your health or how big your butt is, but I don't like being fat and unhealthy.

[@lorraineperez7763]

Great job.I found that if I dip the spatula in warm water before I put it into the marshmallow cream, the cream will not stick to it. Dip the spatula each time before dipping it into the marshmallow jar.

[@naomishardlow4542]

This is still the best fudge! Comes out smooth and doesn't crystallize on me.🤗

[@patriciacromwell6843]

That was a nice video. I have never seen the Marshmellow Cream added to the sugar and butter, but it looks like it works. Thank you, Stephanie, for posting your version of Fantasy Fudge, Mine is not setting up well today.

For the last 5 years I've been making this Instead of my grandmother's Mamie Eisenhower's fudge. It always gets compliments and it's easy to make. Will keep this on my Christmas menu and pass it to my granddaughter to add to her new bakery business. Thank you! 🎄

[@geezermann7865]

I have a hankering for fudge tonight, and I wanted to use up a can of sweetened condensed milk. Luckily, I also have evaporated milk, and the chocolate and nuts. But I don't have the marshmallow creme. I DO have a bag of fresh small marshmallows, and I will try melting those into the mixture. Thanks!

I made your fudge last week & it taste better as it ages. Love your videos 😁

[@vljenewein]

What about the soft ball stage? you gave me an idea on my fudge I make using 4 c sugar and 2 packages of Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips. I think next time I'll add the marshallows ( use the mini) in the pot at the 5 minute mark and keep the heat on as I dissolve the marshmallows. Then I'll add the chocolate and vanilla after I have turned off the heat. Also cream of tartar is a good idea to keep down grainy fudge. About 3 tsp per 5 cups of sugar and it helps to prevent the re-crystallization of the sugar in the fudge. I do cool down but in a per-warmed oven ((about 150 - 200F) This also keeps the fudge from cooling too quickly and causing large crystals.

[@hanar1060]

You have marshmallow cream?! We don't have that in the UK...

Hi Stephanie, can you use mini marshmallows, instead of the cream, for this recipe, and if so, what measurement? In the Caribbean the marshmallows are more readily available.

[@beckylynn209]

When I make it I put the marshmallow puff after I take it off the stove because it makes the fudge way more fluffy n light.. 💕

[@dashblr]

Hi Stephanie, I have a question - why is it that you recommend boiling the sugar mixture to 110 degrees (thread stage) instead of 112 degrees (soft ball stage)? Wouldn't that result in the fudge being undercooked and not setting properly? Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe, I just can't wait to try it out!

Hi Stephanie. I love your videos, you are a very good teacher and even a better cook. I have a question for you, I'm from Argentina, and where I live we don't use Marshmallow Cream (actually is a product that I've never seen before), Could I use Marshmallow Cream home made? Thanks :)

[@joyofbaking]

I'm sorry, but I've never tried making the fudge with homemade marshmallow cream so I really don't know how it would be. But you could make the Simple Chocolate Fudge instead. The flavor and texture is quite similar, only it uses sweetened condensed milk instead of marshmallow cream.

[@CatPlacey]

[@anagraue9078]

Joy of Baking Great! Thank you very much Stephanie!

[@slimjim340]

I have made your fudge twice with excellent results.Made some today and had a problem: it never thickened as I stirred and color was milky. It was so thin as I poured into a lined pan that it did not need spreading.

[@joyofbaking]

Maybe the mixture wasn't cooked long enough. Did you check the temperature to make sure it reached 230 F (110 C)?

[@slimjim340]

@@joyofbaking No. Just cooked 5 min with constant stirring. I may have added choc. too early. Don't have a thermometer. Also I added choc. without removing from heat. It showed a very grainy look. Put the mixture in fridge overnight. It did not thicken at all. I will give it another go. It is so delicious. Tks for come-back. Enjoy your vids. Merry Christmas.

[@happygirl65]

I would love to experiment with using bittersweet chocolate to cut the sweetness just a bit. would that affect how the fudge firms up?

[@joyofbaking]

Yes you can use bittersweet chocolate.

[@eddawatson4661]

added chocolated chips along with the evaporated milk and sugar together instead of boiling it first n then addin chocolate chips. My mixture was too liquid and is not hardening now. Its already been 5-6hrs in refrigerator. what do i do now to get to hard???

[@imsassi]

Would this set up without the choc?

[@iamindigobaby]

I'll try to make it with regular marshmallow candy but is it ok to cut back the sugar? Or if it's not ok I'll use the same amount of sugar but use unsweetened chocolate bar? What do you think Stephanie? Btw merry Christmas to u and Rick, and Bexter of course!!! Haven't seen him for long time!

[@yvettehegler2292]

Can I ask, what brand of chocolate chips did you use? None of the ones I’ve seen are flat round like yours.

[@joyofbaking]

You can use either chocolate chips or chopped bar chocolate. For chocolate chips I normally use Ghirardelli.

[@jessiebraxton718]

I did it, first time ever making candy 😀 taste good, but as I added in the chocolate and nuts it got so thick but it came out ok, not like yours. What could I have done wrong. Thank you, you are my go to for cooking. Best teacher, that’s who you are

[@davidlindgren7605]

bad advice to use a whisk. Whisks are better for liquids that don't thicken quickly like fudge. A wooden spoon or spatula works just fine.

[@catherinemccandless3112]

can you substitute whole marshmallows for fluff, how much would you have to do.

Could I leave the sugar out and just use the chocolate and marshmallows are sweet?

I have another fudge recipe that is similar but it uses sweetened condensed milk. www.joyofbaking.com/candy/SimpleChocolateFudge.html

[@aleanufopilotftlcertified5663]

Hello India from Texas. You can use 7 ounces of marshmallows instead of 7 ounces marshmallow creme. Instead of using a thermometer, bring mixture of butter, evaporated milk and sugar to a roiling boil and stir continuously at high heat for 4 more minutes. No longer. Remove from heat and immediately add the marshmallows, chocolate and vanilla extract. ALL WHILE STIRRING CONTINUOUSLY. When well mixed pour into the foil-lined pan immediately and spread the hot candy evenly. This is the method my mother always used and the 4 minutes of stirring after coming to a roiling boil always makes perfect candy. Cook too long and the candy will be hard and dry. Cook not long enough and the candy will be soft and sticky and gooey. The perfect heat was after 4 minutes for us but practice will make perfect. Watch the time closest and keep detailed records of each batch you make. This is more of an art than following a recipe perfectly. Somewhere between 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 minutes of roiling boil is your perfect candy. I hope this explanation helps you.

[@kristibrown5899]
