Can I use marshmallows instead of marshmallow creme for fudge?As a substitute for 1 cup marshmallow creme:
Heat 16 large or 160 miniature marshmallows + 2 teaspoons of corn syrup in the top of a double boiler and stir until the mixture is smooth.
Is fudge better with condensed milk or evaporated milk?Unfortunately, you cannot use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk in fudge. You can substitute evaporated milk for regular milk in many instances, but it will not give the same rich, creamy taste that you get from the sweetened condensed milk.
Why do people put marshmallows in fudge?Other thoughts: Fudge recipes using marshmallows or marshmallow cream take advantage of the fact that the egg whites and gelatin in marshmallows coat the sugar crystals as they form, which keeps them small and produces an unusually creamy fudge.
Why did my condensed milk fudge not set?Not reaching the proper temperature
If your fudge turned out super sticky, or it didn't set as it cools, it probably never got hot enough. This mistake is super easy to avoid if you use a candy thermometer and cook the fudge to the temperature specified in the recipe (usually between 234 and 239°F).
