This easy chocolate fudge is basically addictive. Made from a family recipe, it's just as good as you remember it, and so simple to make yourself. Go to a place of pure bliss with every bite.
With Samhain quickly approaching, I thought this would be the perfect time to make something from my childhood that I remember fondly. This Easy Chocolate Fudge is made from a family recipe collected in a binder put together by my grandmother. I always remember my mom making mountains of this fudge as well as peanut butter fudge and about a million cookies every year at Christmas. Turns out before she started making the fudge, it was my grandma's job.
So now I'm amongst the third generation of women in my family keeping these recipes alive. While it's not exactly ancient, it still connects me to my past in a very real way. That's part of the beauty of kitchen witchcraft. There are so many ways you can use it to connect to spirit.

I wish I was a poet so I could properly convey the pure joy of eating this fudge. I'm in love.

How to make Easy Chocolate Fudge
My mom's most critical instruction on this recipe is to never ever ever stop stirring. So the crucial first stop is to measure out all of your ingredients before you get started and have everything ready to go. You can add the sugar, marshmallows, and evaporated milk to a medium saucepan (make sure you give yourself ample space to stir and for the mixture to bubble). Then add the chocolate, butter, and vanilla to a separate bowl and set aside for later. Also, spray your 8x8 baking pan with some non-stick spray. Okay, ready for heat?
You can cook this over medium high heat, stirring all the while until it starts to boil. Then set a timer for eight minutes, cut the heat back a little bit (you want it to keep boiling, but you don't want it to boil over or scorch), and just keep stirring. When the timer is up, quickly add the chocolate/butter/vanilla and , you guessed it, keep stirring. Once the chocolate and butter are melted and combined, pour your mixture into the baking pan to set. Let it cool on the counter, then stash it in the fridge for a few hours to set completely.
FAQ
My mom was very practical and used semi-sweet chocolate chips, nothing fancy. It's the major flavor in the recipe, so it should be a chocolate you enjoy eating.

Hi there! When you say “large” marshmallows, do you mean the standard size, or the jumbo? Thanks!
Renee says
Hi, Amber. When I originally wrote this post, they weren't making those marshmallows the size of your fist. So yea, standard size marshmallows, not the mini ones. Hope the fudge turns out great.
