Marshmallow Fudge tastes delicious, melts in your mouth, and is easy to make! Our tasty Fantasy Fudge is an old-fashioned, never-fail recipe.

A good batch of homemade fudge never fails to make me happy! Our recipe for this classic Fantasy Fudge is perfect for making an easy, creamy, chocolatey candy treat!

Marshmallow Fudge

I’m a big fan of old fashioned candies. When we’re talking about toffees and caramels, what’s not to love? I love all these classic recipes for sweet treats, but I’m especially in love with fudges. Although I enjoy peanut butter fudge, there’s always a place for some classic chocolate Fantasy Fudge. This classic recipe became popular after it showed up on the back of Kraft Jet-Puffed containers some years ago.

Old Fashioned Fantasy Fudge with nuts

Traditional fudges are very easy to make and taste delicious with creamy, melt-in-your-mouth flavors. Fantasy Fudge only makes things even easier: no need for any food thermometers for this no-fuss candy recipe! You can get everything cooked and mixed up just on the stovetop in less than half-an-hour- after that, you just need to let things cool before enjoying!

Ingredients for Fantasy Fudge

How to prepare our Fantasy Fudge Recipe

We’re going to start our fudge recipe by first making a caramel-like mixture. For that, we’ll start heating up our sugar, margarine, and milk in the bottom of a large pot.

Sugar, margarine and milk in pot

Bring this to a full boil before turning the heat to medium and holding the boil for another 5 minutes. Make sure you stir this as much as you can to prevent burning or scorching!

Fudge mixture in pan

At this point, you can pull the pot from the heat. Add in all the remaining ingredients and mix well to combine. If it seems like something hasn’t melted fully yet, you can carefully put the pot back over low/medium-low heat. Mix constantly until everything has melted.

Chips, nuts and fluff added to pan

Transfer the melted fudge over to a parchment lined baking dish like a 8×8 or 9X9. Allow this to sit at room temperature until cool enough to eat.

Fudge in baking dish

Once cooled, cut your fudge into squares and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container: your fantasy fudge will keep for a couple of weeks at room temperature and up to 4 in the fridge.

      Hi Donelda! The original recipe used margarine but many use butter now instead. Let me know if you give it a try. I hope you enjoy it.

        I used butter and my fudge separated as i added the chocolate, marshmallow creme and nuts. Why??? Like an oily/watery substance came to the top. Yuk.

    Can your fudge be made in the microwave? If so would appreciate directions.

      Hi Irene! I have never made Fantasy Fudge in the microwave. I will be adding our favorite chocolate microwave fudge next week. Sorry I could not help with making this specific recipe in the microwave.
