When making Carnation Famous fudge, don’t hesitate to substitute margarine for butter if you prefer, or use walnuts in place of pecans based on your taste and availability. Ensure that your chocolate chips are of high quality for that rich flavor, and watch out for allergies to nuts or dairy if you’re serving the fudge to a crowd.

Carnation Famous fudge Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line an 8 inch baking pan with foil, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 2/3 cup evaporated milk, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well until combined.
- Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning.
- Once boiling, keep stirring and let it boil for 4-5 minutes. You’re looking for that perfect consistency, so don’t stop stirring.
- After boiling, remove the saucepan from heat carefully. Just avoid any splatters, please.
- Stir in 2 cups miniature marshmallows, 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Make sure everything gets mixed in well, and stir vigorously for about 1 minute until the marshmallows melt into the gooey goodness.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Refrigerate the fudge for 2 hours or until it firms up nicely. Patience is key here.
- Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang and remove the foil. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
