Millionaire Fudge

Millionaire Fudge

Millionaire Fudge is the perfect old-fashioned recipe that will take you down memory lane with Grandma’s fudge recipes.

Millionaire Fudge is my all-time favorite fudge. It is, without a doubt, the most incredibly scrumptious fudge you will ever eat.

In the 1950s, marshmallow whip creme was introduced to fudge recipes by Mamie Eisenhower, who changed the entire concept of how easy it is to make, not to mention how delicious.

I grew up assisting my mother in making this fudge every year for Christmas. We looked forward to helping scoop the fudge with a tablespoon and pushing it out with another onto wax paper.

As soon as we were finished, we would take the spoons and scrape every little bit of fudge we could possibly get off the sides of the pan.

Oh, you haven’t lived until you have eaten every little bit of hot fudge happiness.

4. Remove from Heat:
   • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

   • Add the marshmallow creme, nuts (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
6. Pour into Pan:

7. Let It Set:
   • Allow the fudge to cool and set at room temperature for several hours or overnight.
8. Cut into Squares:
