.Toll House® Famous Fudge

Calling all chocolate and sweet tooths! Get ready to create a timeless classic with this recipe for Toll House® Famous Fudge. This rich, creamy, and melt-in-your-mouth fudge is surprisingly simple to make, yet incredibly satisfying. It's perfect for satisfying cravings, sharing with loved ones, or adding a homemade touch to a dessert platter.

Ingredients:

  • For the Creamy Fudge Base:
    • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    • 2/3 cup (5 fl oz can) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
    • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Gooey Chocolatey Mix-Ins:
    • 2 cups miniature marshmallows
    • 1 1/2 cups (9 oz) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
    • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions:

  1. Preparing the Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil. This will make it easy to remove the fudge later for cutting and serving.
  2. Creating the Creamy Base: In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a full rolling boil. Be patient and keep stirring to ensure everything dissolves evenly and reaches the boiling point.
  3. The Secret is in the Boil: Once the mixture reaches a full rolling boil, continue stirring constantly for 4 to 5 minutes. This boiling step is crucial for developing the fudge's creamy texture and rich flavor.
  4. Taking it Off the Heat: Remove the saucepan from the heat after the boiling time is complete.
  5. Melty Marshmallow Magic: Add the miniature marshmallows, chocolate morsels, chopped nuts (if using), and vanilla extract to the hot saucepan. Stir vigorously for 1 minute, or until the marshmallows are completely melted and everything is well combined.
  6. Setting the Stage for Perfection: Pour the hot fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan lined with foil. Spread it evenly to ensure uniform thickness.
  7. A Chilled Delight: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set. The coldness helps the fudge solidify and become perfectly fudgy.
  8. Slicing and Serving: Once chilled and set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil overhang. Peel away the foil and cut the fudge into 48 squares for bite-sized pieces of deliciousness.

Fudge Fun with Variations:

This recipe offers a base for endless flavor exploration! Here are some suggestions for delicious variations:

  • Milk Chocolate Fudge: Substitute 1 3/4 cups (11.5-ounce package) of NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Milk Chocolate Morsels for the semi-sweet morsels for a sweeter and creamier fudge experience.
  • Butterscotch Fudge: Craving a butterscotch twist? Replace the semi-sweet morsels with 1 2/3 cups (11-ounce package) of NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Butterscotch Flavored Morsels for a delightful butterscotch flavor.
  • Peanutty Chocolate Fudge: For a fun twist with a peanut butter punch, substitute 1 2/3 cups (11-ounce package) of NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Peanut Butter & Milk Chocolate Morsels for the semi-sweet morsels and add 1/2 cup of chopped peanuts for an extra peanutty texture.

Tips:

  • For a richer fudge, use dark chocolate morsels instead of semi-sweet.
  • Don't be tempted to peek or lift the lid while the fudge is boiling. This can cause the sugar to crystallize and prevent the fudge from setting properly.
  • Leftover fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
