I first learned how to make fudge about a decade ago from my mother in law. She had always made homemade fudge for the holidays, and I thought I’d like to make a batch to put in my cookie tins. I was so surprised when she told me how easy it was to make foolproof fudge with marshmallow cream. I thought that it must be more complicated that that – though it surely wasn’t.
This white chocolate fudge with M&Ms recipe is easy and delicious. It’s a perfect treat to make for the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday. I think that you’re going to love this easy no bake fudge recipe!
Can I substitute marshmallows for marshmallow cream in fudge?
Yes, you certainly can substitute marshmallows for marshmallow cream in this recipe. Simply melt down 12 marshmallows, or 120 mini marshmallows to make one cup of fluffy marshmallow mixture. Make sure to add the heated marshmallow mixture in while it’s still hot.
How many marshmallows equal a 7 oz jar of marshmallow cream?
4 large marshmallows equal 1 ounce of marshmallow fluff. 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows also equals 1 ounce of marshmallow fluff. If you’d like to substitute for this recipe, you will need 28 large marshmallows or 3 and 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows.
How to I melt marshmallows?
Add marshmallows to a large microwave safe bowl along with about 3 tablespoons of water. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir well. If marshmallows are not completely melted, repeat this process until they are. I do not recommend heating marshmallow for longer than 30 seconds at a time. You don’t want to burn them.
