To bad I cant make this (i would... but we dont have chocolate chips, and my mom doesnt want to buy any...).
But there is a great seceret i learned... how to use cake mix for brownies... so i will make brownies.
for each container (1 Lb, 2.2 oz) of cake mix, instead of adding what they tell you to add, add this -
2/3 cup Condesed milk (evaporated works to)
2/3 cup butter (melted)
Cook at 350 for 20 minutes, then for 5 minute intervals until done.

I make a similar recipe. I like to add a 1/2 cup of peanut butter. I think it cuts the sweetness a little. You can tell by the glossy look of the fudge in the picture that you cooked it just right.

Oh, YEAH! Chocolate and peanut butter all together! You can actually replace all the butter with peanut butter and part of the marshmallow creme, too.

I can't find the marshmallow creme, what can I substitute it?

[rimila]

Melt 7oz of marshmallows.... that should do the trick. Enjoy (;

Wow,
I saw this at the bottom of a page in the related section and i thought it said "Fuc*ing Amazing Cake" not "Make Amazing Fudge"
Good instructable though =]

[rimila]

I see what you mean. Funny!

[FunkNattidelic]

i think i am mildly dyslexic because i do that alot, and often read words out in a backwards order or backwards entirely XD

In my day this recipe was called "Mamie Eisenhower's fudge". I think I just dated myself. ;-)

This is a good recipe but, I know you got it off the back of the marshmallow creme bottle. I looked on the back of mine and found the exact same recipe.

[rimila]

Yes, it's true. Our daughter wanted to share the step-by-step, taking the photos and adding silly comments throughout. It was a fun family project that I highly recommend. Whatever the recipe's origins, you can't argue with its delicious success!

[goatgirly]

true, true. And great 'ible for a little kid.

[alucy]

What if I don't have a food thermometer? How do I know when to stop and add in the chips?

[rimila]

Keep a rolling boil for approximately 5 minutes, stirring constantly. That should get you where you want to be temperature-wise. Enjoy!!!

I like the sarcasm through out the instructable =P

my mom makes this all the time, except she makes mint fudge and it is AWESOME.
i so recommend that people try it.

I did some variations on this recipe that were good. Instead of the vanilla, use some rum extract and use raisins instead of pecans. Or, in place of vanilla, use mint, or orange extract and skip the pecans in both cases. Many recipes call for a couple of tablespoons of butter near the end. Use peanut butter instead. Still, it is hard to do better than pecans and chocolate, especially blanched pecans.

[canida]

Ooh, the peanut butter version sounds good! I'll give it a try.

Looks awesome, I can't wait to try.
