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.
