First, I would like to have a moment of silence for my hand mixer…
Thank you. I bought this mixer with the last $9 I had 15 1/2 years ago 16 days after I got married, at a Walmart in Cedar Falls, Iowa. There is not a week that has gone by that I have not used this mixer, and sometimes a few times a day. I pulled it out tonight to make fudge and as I turned it on quick something happened with the beaters and it quit working 🙁
If you think that you can NOT make fudge or have messed it up in the past PLEASE give this fudge recipe a try!! This is totally fool proof and EVERYONE can make AWESOME fudge that will make your family LOVE you!! Recipe HERE.
Fantasy Fudge (Kraft Recipe on Marshmallow Cream)
3 c. granulated sugar
2/3 c. evaporated milk (5oz.)
1 (7 oz.) jar marshmallow creme
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. butter
1 (12 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips
1 c. chopped walnuts
2/3 c. evaporated milk (5oz.)
1 (7 oz.) jar marshmallow creme
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. butter
1 (12 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips
1 c. chopped walnuts
Bring butter, sugar and milk to a hard boil, stirring constantly. Boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add chips; stir until the chips are melted. Add marshmallow creme, nuts and vanilla. Beat well; pour into 9″x13″ pan.
** That the is recipe. I double it, although it says not to on the jar…. and put it in a 9×13 and it is pretty thick. Line the 9×13 with foil, don’t skip that step, and sometimes I put the pan in the fridge to set up for a minute.

I use the same recipe, and use peanut butter chips to make PB fudge for my BIL (or the Andes with peppermint pieces for peppermint fudge – comes out pink, not white – but still good)…and I put them in mini muffin pans, to make bite size pieces. This year, I got silicone molds (Wilton) of gingerbread boy, snowflake, and Christmas tree (24 cavity), and one recipe gets 48 pieces of fudge (and some left over – so I think I need to get one more of each mold – hopefully Joann marks them down more than 40%)…
Wait, what? Y’all got married at a Walmart? You do know you now have to share the story with us. Walmart?! That’s all I got from this post. 🙂 What is the story behind that, please.
LOL! I wrote that badly! We didn’t actually get married at Walmart!
Oh ok, I was wondering. I mean, I’m all for somewere different and unique but Walmart? That’s a little too unique. 🙂
LOL…..poor mixer. They just don’t make like that anymore. The question is were you able to make the fool proof fudge without the beloved hand mixer? I had a clothes iron that cost me about the same amount of money purchased from Walmart. I can’t say it lasted me that long but I sure got my money’s worth out of the thing.
Thank you for the recipe.

YOu would not believe how I had to mix that by hand! I had to call Paul over at the end i thought my arm was going to fall off!
I love Cedar Falls, I grew up just north of CF & Loo. I miss Iowa right now even if Texas has better weather. Love your blog-you have no idea how much you’ve helped me out this year! (I have 5 children) Have a Merry Christmas!
Too funny! I *just* posted this recipe on my own blog then got yours in my email–great minds think alike 🙂
I just made my second batch of this fudge. The first one went so fast! I make a single recipe and put it in a 9×13. Pieces aren’t as thick, but just as good and goes farther. I remember my mother making this same recipe. It is a family favorite. I’ve never tried making any other kind than chocolate, but the peanut butter and the peppermint sound so good!
BTW, I still have the handmixer I got at my wedding shower 44 years ago! I hold my breath every time I turn it on, but so far it works just like new.
tell paul you need a kitchenaid for christmas
We make this fudge every year and everyone raves about it. We tell them that it is on the marshmallow cream jar (every few years they have a different receipt on them) but everyone says that theirs dosent turn out as good…….we dont use a mixer…..all by hand!
with that double batch i just use the hand mixer to get the chocolate chips mixed in fast enough! Doing it by hand is awesome!
I was totally ready to hear how you got married at Walmart. I thought, “Wow, she has always been thrifty”! Bummer.
Add 1 ounce German chocolate baking squares along with choc chips, 1 cup shredded coconut, and pecans instead of walnuts and it become German chocolate fudge! Thats what we do every Christmas:-)
