Fantasy Fudge for two. The famous recipe, scaled down to make way less fudge!
Have y’all heard of Fantasy Fudge? It’s the recipe for fudge on the back of the marshmallow creme jar.
Southerners have a strong affinity for recipes printed on food labels. The pumpkin pie on the Libby’s can, the green bean casserole on the French’s onion can, Rotel dip on the Velveeta package, Toll House cookies on the chocolate chip bag, I could go on.
Fantasy Fudge original recipe:
But doesn’t it seem like as soon as the recipe becomes well-liked, the company changes the recipe? This leaves us frantically searching for the original label. I know your grandma has food labels in her recipe collection. Mine sure did. My grandma even kept old electricity bills because the company sent recipes with each month’s bill. Wouldn’t it be nice if they still did that? It would sure soften the blow on a cell phone bill when you talked or texted too much.
My fudge is even easier than Fantasy Fudge because I’m not going to make you wrestle with boiling sugar while you desperately try to scrape sticky marshmallow creme out of the jar. It might be worth it for a big batch, but when all you want is a few bites of fudge, let’s take the easy way out, shall we?
This fantasy fudge recipe is pressed into a bread loaf pan to make a small batch of fudge. If you're looking for the original Fantasy Fudge recipe from the back of the jar, or if you wish to make more than a small batch of fudge, double this recipe.
I hope you make and love this recipe. It helps me a lot to not have a giant recipe for fudge in my house, since I can hardly control myself around it, hah! You can always double it to share with friends or give away as DIY gifts during the holiday season.

This looks amazing...I'll have to give it a shot! Something with chocolate and marshmallow creme has to be delish!

I actually saw this recipe on the Marshmallow Fluff jar before but never really tried it! I will definitely have to make this sometime, though :)

Yet another coincidence for you and me, my mom made Fantasy Fudge every year of my life growing up. I haven't had it since going veg, but I do have some Ricemallow at home and planned to try making fudge with it.

I've heard about "fantasy fudge" for years, but never had it! Now that there are decent vegan substitutes for everything, I feel compelled to give it ago... It sure sounds sweet and decadent!

I agree that food labels can hold some treasures! This fudge recipe sounds easy and so delicious. All you have to do is say Sweetened Condensed Milk and I am all over it!!
