Makes 1 pan

Ingredients:

  • 1--16 oz can vanilla or your favorite flavor cake frosting
  • 1--12 oz bag baking chips, any flavor
  • 1--7 oz jar marshmallow
  • 2-tsp vanilla
  • ½-cup mix ins, such as nuts, tater chips, or chopped dried fruit
  • Plus more mix-ins for topping

Directions:

  • Lightly spray a 9x9 or 8x8 or 11x7 with cooking spray or butter.
  • In a sauce pan, place the frosting and baking chips.
  • On low heat, stir until well melted, watching closely so as not to scorch; add the marshmallow cream and stir until melted.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the mix ins and pour into prepared pan, top with more add ins or sprinkles.
  • Place in refrigerator for 30 mins to an hour until set, then remove from fridge and cut. Place in an air-tight container and enjoy.

Tip: Be creative with the mix ins, that’s what fudge is all about, having fun with flavors.
