ingredients

1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
12 ounces white chips
7 ounces marshmallow creme or marshmallow fluff
OR
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1/3 cup key lime juice
1/2 cup almonds or macadamia nuts (coarsely chopped)
1/4 teaspoon rum extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract

directions

Line a 9" x 9" pan with aluminum foil and set aside. Place white chips, extracts, and nuts into Pyrex glass dish (or a 3-quart saucepan) and set aside. Set butter aside to warm.

Heat milk at Medium setting until warm then add sugar. Bring to a rolling boil (Medium-High) while stirring constantly with a hand mixer (or wooden spoon).

Add marshmallow creme and butter and mix until creamy. Add Key lime juice. Bring back to a boil for 5 full minutes by clock (start timing once boil resumes). The mixture will start to turn a little brown during boil. If you get brown flakes in mixture then turn down heat a little (e.g. down to Medium from Medium-High) and continue to stir.

Remove from heat and pour hot mixture over chips without scraping sides of hot saucepan. Mix until chips are melted then mix in nuts. Pour into prepared pan. Cool at room temperature. Remove from pan, remove foil, cut into squares.

  1. Conch REVIEW:

    Love this fudge and so do people I've given it to. Problem is sometimes it turns out more like taffy then fudge and I am not sure why and wondered if anyone else might know why it does this. Thank you

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Looking for something out of the ordinary to please the pallet or impress someone? Here it is. This fudge is "To-Die-For!"... Unequivocally the ultimate flavor for fudge and genuinely worth the time to make. The compliments are overwhelming. One note on the recipe: There is a conflict in the order the nuts should be added. I suggest waiting until the very end after you've melted the white chips. That way you can tell if the chips have melted completely without guessing if the lump you see is a Macadamia nut or unmelted chip.

  3. JL REVIEW:

    I couldn't get enough of this "fudge!" The tart of the lime and the sweet of the fudge were perfect together! I took some to work and got RAVES. I will definitely make this recipe again.
