This easy white chocolate fudge is made with marshmallows. The fudge is super easy because there's no need for a candy thermometer or repeated testings. It comes out perfect every time!

It's also a versatile fudge. Make it festive with coarsely crushed peppermint candy pressed into the top, or add diced or halved candied cherries to candy along with the pecans.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Dash salt
  • 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme (or Fluff)
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk

  • 3 cups/18 ounces white chocolate chips (or white chocolate baking chunks)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
