In this house, we LOVE dark chocolate fudge! So when I found extra dark chocolate chips I snagged them to make my fudge.
This recipe is so easy and so yummy! It’s my go-to recipe because it has never failed me.

How to make Extra Dark Chocolate Fudge
I usually make this fudge with dark chocolate, so if that’s all you can find, go for it! It’s still really yummy!
This fudge is expected to be available every Christmas by family members. So I make it happen!
Super easy!
Line an 8″ or 9″ square pan with foil, butter the foil and set aside.
Place marshmallow creme, sugar, evaporated milk and butter in a heavy saucepan, bring to boil and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, stir in chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir until all the chips are melted.
Pour into the prepared pan to set up. And that’s it…easy, right?
Our Bread Pudding is to-die-for!
Once set, lift out of the pan and slice.
I promise this fudge will be a big hit, so give it a try!

March 14, 2021Anyone tried this or any fudge using the miniature marshmallows instead of marshmallow creme? Wondering if the consistency turns out ok.
*Sorry, I accidentally posted this question as a reply to someone too.
Maya
December 23, 2019I followed the instructions but the fudge didn’t set. How can I fix it?
DSTR
December 24, 2019Hey Maya, so sorry to hear that. The only thing I can think of that would not cause it to set up is not cooking it long enough at a high enough temperature.

December 14, 2018I’m wondering what state you live in….because I made this fudge…and it set up So close to “set up” ….but still kinda smushy. I live near the coast in Texas…and think altitude affected my outcome.

October 7, 2018My wife and I make fudge each holiday season and ship it to friends throughout the U.S. and world. We were looking for a extra dark chocolate fudge recipe and this one looks good. Doubling the recipe should not be a problem, right?
DSTR
October 9, 2018Hi, Warren. I have never doubled this recipe so I can’t say if it will work or not. If you try it let please come back and let us know how it worked. Thanks so much for visiting!

May 28, 2020I found this recipe about a year ago when I was trolling specifically for an easy fudge recipe.
This recipe is not only easy it has the magic ingredient for my husband — extra dark chocolate.
Follow the directions — stirring constantly, including the 5 minute boil. No fail!
Thanks so much for this amazing recipe.
