Christmas Fudge Recipe

This is one Christmas recipe that I make every year because everyone gobbles it up and begs for more! This fudge recipe is so delicious because it just melts in your mouth. Even beginners can make this fudge, it doesn't require any special tools...just a medium sized saucepan, spatula, and 9 x 13 inch baking pan.

Ingredients:

1 - c. butter (2 sticks)

1 - 12 oz. can of evaporated milk

4 - c. sugar

2 - tsp. vanilla

3-4 of your favorite high quality chocolate candy bars

1 - 12 oz. package of semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 - jar of Marshmallow Crème

1 - c. chopped walnuts

What will make this recipe a success for you is the candy bar ingredient. The higher quality chocolate you use, the more it will melt in your mouth. I almost always use Dove bars when I make this Christmas fudge recipe.

To begin, line your 9 x 13 pan with foil. Next, cut up your candy bars into little pieces.

Combine the butter, evaporated milk, and sugar in a medium sized saucepan. Continue mixing these ingredients while you bring them to a boil. Once it begins to boil, drop down the temperature to low and add the remaining ingredients. Just throw them all in there, you don't have to add them in any specific order, just be sure not to forget any! Once all of the ingredients have been added, remove from heat and continue stirring until everything has been combined well.

Pour the fudge onto into your pan and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until almost completely chilled. I have found that this fudge is much easier to cut just before it is completely chilled through. As long as it has fully solidified, then it is chilled enough to cut. Flip the pan upside down and carefully remove the foil before cutting. Set on a large cutting board and cut your homemade Christmas fudge into small pieces.

A word of advice: Don't skimp on the nuts in this fudge recipe! The fudge itself is so rich, creamy, and smooth, that the walnuts give it that perfect crunchy balance it needs.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. This one is definitely a crowd pleaser and Christmas Fudge makes great Christmas gifts, stocking stuffers, or gift exchange presents as well. It also is a winner on any buffet table, great for a sweet treat after Christmas dinner!
