Grandma's Easy-Do Fudge Recipe: Creamy, Old-fashioned Goodness Candy Desserts

Fudge was always on my grandma's table around the holidays. That's pretty much the only time I would think about fudge. Now, we have a local store that has a full homemade fudge counter that tempts you as soon as you walk in. Not nice! So now, making fudge has become a year-round venture.

This easy-do fudge recipe is from my grandma's recipe box. Made with semisweet chocolate chips and marshmallow crème, it's easy to make and super creamy. Don't wait until the holidays to make a batch!

To make this homemade fudge recipe you'll need butter, granulated sugar, evaporated milk, semisweet chocolate chips, marshmallow crème, vanilla extract and chopped nuts, which are optional but add some texture. The ingredients are cooked on the stovetop and then poured into a 13x9-inch pan. You have to be patient and let the fudge cool completely before cutting it into pieces and devouring it. Good luck!
