This is posted by request, but sounds interesting, so I will probably try it soon. So many fudge recipes I have looked at seem to have marshmallow creme as a main ingredient! I know people have been making fudge for hundreds of years, but I am sure that marshmallow creme hasn't been around that long. Novel idea- it reminds me of Beanie Brownies (#29280) which contains black beans and Velveeta Fudge (#45077). Recipe adapted from Christmas-Cookies.com

Categories     Candy

Time 20m

Yield 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
5 ounces evaporated milk
3/4 cup mashed potatoes (approx.)
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 1 cup)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Line a 9" x 9" pan with waxed paper or foil and set aside.
  • (This can also be done in an 8"x8" pan, but your fudge will be thicker, obviously) Heat butter and potatoes and mix until potatoes are creamy and well-blended.
  • Drier potatoes will work better so if you are using mashed potatoes that are a little wet, you may want to heat them to evaporate some of the liquid.
  • Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm.
  • Add sugar, salt, and corn syup.
  • Bring to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
  • Continue to boil for about 5 minutes, then add the potatoes and mix.
  • Bring back to a boil for about 3 minutes or until the boiling temperature reaches 234°F on a candy thermometer.
  • Remove from heat and stir in remaining butter, chocolate chips and vanilla.
  • Mix thoroughly and pour into prepared pan.
  • Chill.
  • Remove from pan, remove paper or foil, cut into squares.
  • Decorate with powdered sugar, a blend of powdered sugar and a little cocoa powder, or if you would like, you may melt some chocolate over a double boiler and dip in chocolate and let set on waxed paper.

Overall, I thought this fudge was just okay. It's not my favorite, but it's not bad either.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my fudge turned out grainy and crumbly.

This fudge is a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier fudge.

I had some trouble getting the fudge to set properly. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

This fudge is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good.
