I love fudge but every recipe I’ve tried even the one “easiest” made with chocolate chips and marshmallow cream was beyond my abilities. This is fabulous and TRULY EASY. Thank you so muchl
I make this recipe often at Christmas time. The only difference I have with mine, I add a teaspoon of butter flavoring. I also make lots of flavor variations. I use chocolate frosting and add peanut butter chips, white chips with cream cheese frosting. Just mix and match.
My dad read this, and went 12 miles to the store just to see if it worked, and dang they were gone, as fast as you could say frosting!!! Rate: 10/10 yumm, highly recommended!
Did you use semisweet chips or milk chocolate?
Hi Glenda,
Great question. I used semi-sweet for these but in my strawberry fudge, I used white chocolate. I prefer the semi-sweet. The frosting is already really sweet and semi-sweet compliments it perfectly.
