I am going to try Glendas,and I LOVE the one Carol makes...thank yous for sharing!

I always liked the one I found on the jar of marshmallow whip, if that is what that stuff is called.

This one is super easy and tastes good.

Fudge

1 c brown sugar

4 tbsp milk

butter - size of egg

Bring to a boil for one minute. Remove from hear and add 3/4 c sifted icing sugar and beat.

****Note**** I usually add chopped nuts.

Chocolate Fudge

5 tbsp milk

1 1/4 c sugar

3 tbsp cocoa

butter - size of two eggs

Bring to a boil for one minute. Remove from hear and add 3/4 c sifted icing sugar and beat.

****Note**** I usually add chopped nuts.

We like the one on the Kraft Marshmallow creme jar.

My family recipe, not sure where it came from originally.

Boil five minutes (marshmallows will melt completely during this time):

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup canned milk
12 marshmallows

Add, stir until thick (won't take long), then pour into greased pan:

1 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla (or use coffee powder)

Carol, details please for the dried cherry addition (amount, when, etc)? I use that same fudge recipe, but would love to add the cherry. Cherry is my favorite.

ETA: I found this one. Is it what you do? 3/4 cup added at the same time as marshmallow and chips?

I have actually made this several times and no one knew it was VELVEETA FUDGE until I told them.

It is a heavy fudge, sets up beautifully and really good. I know, eww! But don't knock it till you try it, as I told GS when he was a youngster when he turned his nose up at certain foods.

I have made this several times!
Velveeta Fudge ^^^I halve the recipe
Spray a 9 x 13 inch cake pan with cooking spray ^^^^Use a square pyrex dish when you halve the recipe.

1/2 pound Velveeta
1/2 pound butter
1/2 Tbsp. vanilla
1 2lb. bag of powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
Nuts, if desired I like it with nuts

Melt Velveeta and butter on top of stove. When melting is done, pour in remaining ingredients and mix using a hand mixer. Pour into pan and chill.

Does anybody else make true boiled fudge? Unfortunately it's too humid this year :(

Raye, I used to make a boiled version. It took forever, only made a small amount, and we didn't like it as much as the marshmallow creme fudge. It always works and makes a 9 x 13 pan. I can also make it in a dairy free version (which is what I always do now) for the one in the family that is highly allergic to dairy.

Kraft Marshmallow Creme one is a family favorite.

Dairy Free Marshmallow Creme Fudge

3/4 cup dairy free margarine (Fleishmann's No Salt)

3 cups sugar

2/3 cup Silk Vanilla Soy Milk

1 package (12oz) dairy free chocolate chip

(10 oz package Enjoy Life chocolate chips + 2 oz (over full 1/4 cup)

one 7 ounce jar Kraft Marshmallow Creme

1 teaspoon valilla

1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional) (I don't use)

Melt margarine in large saucepan. Add sugar and soy milk. Bring to a full boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Lower heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly to soft boil (candy thermometer 234*) Takes about 15 minutes.

Remove from heat. Add chocolate. Stir until chocolate melts. Add marshmallow creme and vanilla. Add nuts if wanted.

Pour into greased 9" x 13" parchment lined pan and let cool. Lift out of pan and cut into squares with sharp knife.

Will keep on counter, but I usually store covered in refrigerator for longer storage. It stays creamier and fresher longer.

This is the recipe on the back of the Kraft Marshmallow creme. You use a small (5oz) can of evaporated milk for the regular version. It only takes 5 minutes to cook instead of 15 for the dairy free.

I haven't tried it, but have been told, that you can find vegan marshmallows. So could probably be adapted to be vegan.

Re: Fudge with dried cherries.

I don't have an exact amount. I just add a handful.

It isn't Christmas unless I make this fudge. I really only eat one piece, but I tuck it in tins for gifts. It just says Christmas.

Peppermint Fudge

2 c. white sugar

1/2 c. butter (no sub)

5 oz. evaporated milk

7 oz. marshmallow creme

8 oz. almond bark/vanilla candy coating, chopped fairly small

1/2 c. crushed peppermints (8 small canes if you can't find the bags of crushed)

3 drops red food coloring

Spray a 9 in. sq. pan with Pam or the like, then line with foil and spray the foil or butter it.

In large pot combine sugar, butter, and milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue stirring 5 min. over medium heat. Then remove from heat and add the bark and creme. Stir to cover and then let sit a minute or two to help melt. Stir til full incorporated. Then add the food coloring and stir til fully mixed. Will be a very pale pink. Then stir in crushed.peppermints.

Pour into pan, cool to room temp. Score, and let set up before cutting.

Enjoy!
