Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup butter
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow fluff
- 1 package (12 oz) white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 1 1/2 cups M&M’s, divided (1 cup for folding in, 1/2 cup for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Butter or grease a 9×9 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Set the pan aside for later.
- Cook the Sugar Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a rolling boil. Continue boiling for about 3 minutes or until the mixture reaches 234°F (soft ball stage). To test without a thermometer, drop a small amount into cold water—it should form a soft ball.
- Add Chocolate and Marshmallow Fluff: Remove the saucepan from heat. Immediately add the white chocolate chips and marshmallow fluff, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Incorporate M&M’s: Fold in 1 cup of M&M’s carefully so they are evenly distributed without breaking.
- Transfer and Decorate: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared 9×9 inch pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup M&M’s evenly over the top and gently press them into the fudge surface.
- Set the Fudge: Let the fudge sit at room temperature until it hardens completely, approximately 90 minutes. Once set, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Ensure your candy thermometer is calibrated correctly for precise temperature and best results.
- For a firmer fudge, you can refrigerate it after setting for an additional 30 minutes.
- Use full-fat evaporated milk for the creamiest texture.
- White chocolate chips melt better when fresh; avoid using old or expired chocolate to maintain smoothness.
- Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate to extend shelf life.
