Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use a different type of chocolate in this recipe?

Yes, you can experiment with different types of chocolate. If you prefer a darker or semi-sweet fudge, you can use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips. Just keep in mind that the sweetness and flavor will vary.

Can I substitute margarine for butter?

It is recommended to use unsalted butter for the best flavor and texture in fudge recipes. Margarine may alter the taste and consistency of the fudge, so it’s best to stick with butter if possible.

Can I substitute marshmallow fluff with marshmallows?

Marshmallow fluff provides a smoother texture to the fudge. While you can substitute it with marshmallows, the consistency may be slightly different, and you may need to melt the marshmallows before adding them to the mixture.

Can I use sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk?

While the two are similar, sweetened condensed milk is thicker and sweeter due to the added sugar.

Using sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk may result in an overly sweet fudge. It’s best to stick to evaporated milk for this recipe.

How long does the fudge need to cool and set?

The fudge should be allowed to cool and set for several hours, preferably at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

This allows it to firm up and develop its desired texture. It’s recommended to let it set for at least 2-3 hours or until completely firm before slicing and serving.

Can I add nuts or other mix-ins to the fudge?

Absolutely! If you enjoy nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, you can add them to the fudge mixture along with the chocolate chips. Simply fold them in after the chocolate chips have melted.

You can also add other mix-ins like dried fruit or crushed cookies for added flavor and texture.

Can I freeze Mom’s Easy Fudge?

Yes, you can freeze the fudge for longer storage. Make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container before freezing. Thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.

Can I add nuts or other mix-ins to the fudge?

Absolutely! If you enjoy the addition of nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, or other mix-ins like dried fruit or crushed cookies, feel free to add them to the fudge mixture after incorporating the chocolate chips. Fold them in gently before pouring the fudge into the pan.
