Chocolate Walnut Marshmallow Fudge

Chocolate Walnut Marshmallow Fudge! This fudge is just so easy to make! Perfect to take as a gift, just put the fudge into a tin or a lovely dish & there you have it! This will be a well appreciated gift for everyone!

My fav fudge has nuts in it so this recipe is a winner for me! Oh… & marshmallows… and chocolate ? Delish!

The recipe is from the Eagle Brand website so I knew it would be great!

Here is the link to the recipe: http://www.eaglebrand.com/recipe-detail/chocolatesnowswirlfudge-3970

You are going to want to make this over and over! The Ingredients are Chocolate Chips, a jar of condensed milk, butter, vanilla, walnuts & marshmallows!

NOTE: This fudge would be delish without nuts too so if you don’t like nuts or some has an allergy, leave them out!

Here is the recipe

Ingredients

3 cups of chocolate chips

1 300 ml can sweetened condensed milk

4 tablespoons of butter, you will use this divided

a pinch of salt

11/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup chopped walnuts *** pecans would be good too

2 cup mini marshmallow. ***but I am sure you can use large marshmallows if that is what you have!

Method

You need a square 9×9 dish Line the dish with parchment or wax paper & then spray the paper with cooking spray. TIP: Leave about an inch of an overhang with the paper so it is easy to lift yah fudge out of the pan when you are ready to cut it

  1. Melt the 3 cups of chocolate chips, the can of sweetened condensed milk, 2 tbsp of butter & salt. You can do this in a saucepan over medium heat stirring often or in a microwave on medium heat stirring after every minute until melted. I don’t know how long this will take, it depends on your microwave actually but be careful not to burn this or you will have to start again!
  2. When melted, stir in the vanilla & nuts. Spread evenly into the prepared pan & set aside
  3. now, melt the marshmallows with the remaining 2 tbsp butter. Stir often. When the marshmallows are melted pour them over top of the fudge. Using a knife swirl the marshmallow through the fudge
  4. Chill for at ;east 2 hours in the fridge before cutting. Lift the fudge out of the pan with the overhang you left of parchment paper. Put onto a cutting board & cut into squares. You can cut them into any size squares you like!

Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!! Three great recipes for dessert! Pumpkin Custard, Apple Crisp & Lemon Meringue Pie

Three desserts that are perfect for anytime but great to end a Thanksgiving meal!

I love the Pumpkin Custard, baked in individual ramekins these are easy to serve & if you have left-overs perfect in the fridge for a few days. Light & cream in texture they are perfect if you are full from dinner!

Apple Crisp is always a great dessert… eat some fruit!!

And last but not least by any means… Lemon Meringue Pie Always perfect in my mind! One of my favorite pies. I like to use lemon pie filling for my Lemon Meringue Pies.. it is easy & we like it! Of course making the lemon filling from scratch is always good too but this recipe is with the boxed lemon filling.

Pumpkin Custard

My husband Murray loves everything pumpkin! Maybe not a pumpkin spice latte but pretty sure everything else! Murray made these pumpkin custards with fresh pumpkin & they are delish!

Apple Crisp

Always a welcome dessert, it seems that everyone loves Apple Crisp! Apple Crisp is so much simpler to make than pie…& I bet it is healthier too. Though I am no nutritionalist..it makes sense to me…though don’t get me wrong…I love pie!! But for a quick fruit dessert…Apple Crisp is a really delicious choice. You…

Lemon Meringue Pie

Usually I make lemon meringue pie using Yellow lemon pie filling… but here is a recipe for making the pie filling from scratch) It was a bit more time-consuming but it is not difficult.at all!

Magic Cookie Bars

I just love this Magic Cookie Bars. They hit all the spots for me.. graham wafer crust, coconut, pecans or walnuts, chocolate chips … Baked into a delicious treat!

  • I got the dates backwards in that little video I made for Tik Tok! Don’t think anyone on the app minded since I have gotten over 500 views!

I use the standard recipe from Eagle Brand but I made a couple changes… I make this in a square 9×9 pan so they are thicker. The recipe says to pour the condensed milk over the graham wafer crumbs then layer the other ingredients but when I was shown this recipe in the early 80’s my friend poured the condensed milk over all of the ingredients & that is how I do it!

This is simple to make & very popular! NO mixer required! Make this your own by changing the type of nuts you use & if you don’t like coconut omit it! They will still be delish!

I will give you the recipe as I make it but if you want to check out the original recipe here is the link

You can use pecans or walnuts in this recipe, whichever you prefer. I always have coconut in the house so I use whatever I have.. there are several choices of coconut .. use sweetened flaked coconut.

Here is the recipe

Ingredients

2 cups graham wafter crumbs

3/4 cup melted butter

1 1/3 cup flaked coconut

1 1/3 cup chocolate chips

1 1/3 cup chopped pecans ( or walnuts)

1 can condensed milk

Method

Preheat oven to 350f

Grease a square baking dish

  1. Combine the graham wafer squares & the butter then press them evenly & firmly into the prepared pan
  2. Put the coconut evenly over the crumgs
  3. Chocolate Chips over the coconut
  4. Pecans go over the chocolate chips
  5. Pour the condensed milk evenly over the pecans
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned approx 25-30 minutes
  7. Let cool completely before slicing *** I slice them and then freeze them with a bit of space between each square or in paper muffin cup liners so I can take out as much as we want to eat whenever we want!

Do you have left-over chocolate bars?? Bake some Chocolate Bar Cookies!!

This cookie recipe, Chocolate Bar Cookies, is just so delicious! You use chopped up chocolate bars instead of chocolate chips so every cookie is just a bit different if you use a variety of chocolate bars!
