THE ORIGINAL FANTASY FUDGE
This recipe used to be found on the back of a well known brand of marshmallow cream. Many were surprised when it was changed. This is the original! You may find that most packages of chocolate chips are 10 ounces now; 12 ounces of chocolate chips is roughly 2 cups.

PEANUT BUTTER FANTASY FUDGE
Kraft® marshmallow creme is the secret ingredient. It's whipped and light. Along with the peanut butter it makes this traditional favorite extra fancy and so easy!

Hope you will too!)

FANTASY FUDGE (PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE)
This recipe is from the mother of a student, and it is the BEST peanut butter fudge I have ever had. I usually use real butter and not margarine when I cook, so I will substitute the margarine in this recipe. From what I have tasted, however, it is still delicious when made with margarine.

FANTASY FUDGE
I copied this recipe off the back of a jar of marshmallow cream. The recipe was for chocolate-walnut fudge. I just change the flavor of the candy chips for different flavors. It is a no fail recipe and always comes out the way you think fudge should.

NO-FAIL FANTASY FUDGE
This is the perfect, basic fudge recipe. Smooth and creamy, it has never failed me, and the flavor can't be beat! It's simple, straight-forward, super-fast, and easily adaptable -- there's the "fantasy" part ;) My family loves fudge at Christmas time, and I make several different kinds, but this is the only recipe I have used...

Steps:
- 1. Combine butter, sugar, and milk in a heavy 3 qt. saucepan.
- 2. Over medium heat, stirring constantly, bring mixture to a full, rolling boil.
- 3. Continue boiling hard 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- 4. Remove from heat. Immediately add chocolate chips, stirring until melted.
- 5. Quickly add marshmallow creme, vanilla, and nuts, if desired.
- 6. Beat together with the spoon until well blended and smooth.
- 7. Pour the fudge mixture into a 9x13" baking dish, that has been prepared with food release spray. Cool to room temperature. Cut into squares. Then refrigerate until firm.
- 8. NOTES: In case you haven't noticed, you may find your baking chips bags are now 10 oz bags, rather than 12 oz!! My favorite tool for candy making is a long handled wooden spoon, that has a corner on it. If you don't have one, I highly recommend you get one! For deeper/thicker pieces, use an 11x7" baking dish. I prefer my chocolate straight up, so I don't add nuts -- pure chocolate heaven :) If you prefer darker chocolate, substitute dark chocolate chips for the semi-sweet. (If you use very dark chocolate, you may want to increase the amount of butter a bit.) Make cappuccino fudge by adding espresso powder or instant coffee granules in the first step. Instead of, or in addition to chopped nuts, stir in whatever you like -- cranberries, raisins, mini marshmallows, mint or cinnamon flavored baking chips,etc. Stir them in at the very end, just before spreading the mixture into the baking dish. You could also garnish with things like crushed candy cane, toffee chips, chopped candy (Andes mints, peanut butter cups, etc), or simply use finely ground nut dust, or good quality (Folgers) instant coffee granules, even kosher salt. Whatever you like! *We are dairy intolerant, so I substitute Silk brand soy creamer for the evaporated milk.

- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the fudge from burning.
- Cook the fudge over medium heat: This will help to ensure that the sugar dissolves completely and that the fudge cooks evenly.
- Stir the fudge constantly: This will help to prevent the fudge from sticking to the bottom of the pan and to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Use a candy thermometer: This will help you to ensure that the fudge reaches the correct temperature, which is 234°F (112°C).
- Let the fudge cool slightly before pouring it into the pan: This will help to prevent the fudge from crystallizing.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container: This will help to keep the fudge fresh and prevent it from drying out.
