❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

This fudge is really easy to make which is one of the reasons we love it. Five minute fudge takes all the guessing out of it and makes this one simple! Such a versatile recipe.

COOKING STEPS

Step 1
Combine sugar, marshmallows, milk, butter and salt in a pan.  Bring to boil, reduce to medium and cook about 5 minutes or until reaches soft ball stage.  I just boil mine 5 minutes stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 2
Remove pan from stove, stir in baking chips until melted and smooth. Stir in walnuts and maple extract.  Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish with cooking spray and add fudge mix. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until hardens.  Cut in pieces and enjoy!

⭐TIP

You can use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe. We usually use unsalted since we add salt to the fudge.

STORING & SERVING SIZE

We store our fudge in an airtight container in the fridge because we enjoy it cold, but it will be fine in just an airtight container. This makes about 8 -10 servings.
