Ingredients for Sees Copycat Fudge

When it comes to making Sees Copycat Fudge, the ingredients play a pivotal role in achieving that perfect balance of creaminess and sweetness. Each component serves its purpose, from the rich chocolate chips to the fluffy marshmallow cream. Understanding these ingredients will help you appreciate the magic that happens when they come together.

• 24 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (high quality like Guittard) – These chocolate chips are the star of the show, bringing a rich and decadent flavor that is essential for any fudge.
• 1 (7 ounce) container marshmallow cream – This sweet, fluffy ingredient adds that characteristic chewy texture and sweetness that makes fudge so irresistible.
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened – The butter adds richness and helps meld all the ingredients together, creating a smooth, creamy texture.
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract – This aromatic ingredient enhances the overall flavor profile, adding depth and a hint of sweetness.
• 1-2 cups pecans or walnuts, chopped (depending on how nutty you like it) – These nuts add a delightful crunch and a nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of the fudge.
• 4 1/4 cups white sugar – The sugar is essential for sweetness and helps achieve that perfect fudge texture.
• 1 (12 ounce can) evaporated milk – This ingredient adds creaminess and richness, making every bite melt in your mouth.

How to Assemble Sees Copycat Fudge

Getting started with Sees Copycat Fudge is a fun and straightforward process. With just a few easy steps, you’ll have this delightful treat ready to indulge in. Let’s walk through the steps together to create this sweet delight.

1. First, line a 9×13 baking dish with foil or parchment paper. This makes it easier to remove the fudge and cut it into squares once it’s set. If you prefer shorter pieces, you can use a larger pan.
2. Next, in a large bowl, combine the chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, butter, vanilla, and chopped nuts. Set this bowl aside for later, as we’ll be combining it with the hot fudge mixture.
3. In a very large pot, pour in the white sugar and evaporated milk. It’s important to use a large pot because the mixture will expand when it boils.
4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, and once it reaches that point, start your timer! Cook for four minutes while stirring continuously. If you prefer a softer fudge, stick with four minutes; for a firmer fudge, let it boil for six minutes.
5. Once the timer goes off, remove the pot from heat and carefully pour the hot mixture into the bowl containing the chocolate chips and other ingredients. Work quickly, as the fudge will start to set up.
6. Stir the mixture until it’s fully incorporated. The heat from the hot mixture will melt the chocolate chips and butter, creating a smooth and creamy fudge mixture.
7. Pour the fudge into the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly, and let it cool at room temperature for about an hour.
8. After the hour, transfer the fudge to the refrigerator and allow it to chill until set, which usually takes another hour or so.
9. Once set, remove the fudge from the pan by lifting the foil or parchment. Slice it into squares using a sharp knife.
10. Finally, serve and enjoy your homemade Sees Copycat Fudge! You can also prepare this ahead of time and freeze it if desired.

How to Switch It Up

While Sees Copycat Fudge is delicious just as it is, there are plenty of ways to customize it and make it your own. Here are some tips to switch things up!

• Storage: Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
• Freezing: You can freeze fudge for up to three months. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing it in a freezer-safe container.
• Flavor Variations: Experiment with different types of chocolate, like milk or dark chocolate, to change the fudge flavor.
• Mix-ins: Add dried fruits, coconut flakes, or even crispy rice cereal for added texture and flavor.
• Presentation: For a festive touch, consider drizzling melted chocolate on top or sprinkling with sea salt before it sets.

Notes

• DRY FUDGE: The most common fail is that the fudge separates with an oily layer on top. This is due to overheating. To fix, heat the fudge on low in a large saucepan or pot adding a tablespoon of hot water at a time (as many as needed), stirring until it becomes smooth and shiny. Then pour it back into your prepared pan and let it set.
• FUDGE THAT DOESN'T SET: If you undercook your fudge it may not set up remaining a soft liquid. Simple reheat to a boil adding a little more evaporated milk if necessary.
