How do you make the fudge recipe on the back of jars of marshmallow fluff?

Question

I've tried this recipe a couple of times and every time I do it, it comes out looking great but it doesn't harden. It just remains like a pan full of melted chocolate. The only thing I could think of is maybe I need to let the evaporated milk/sugar/butter combination boil longer. Does the sugar need to crystallize?

Answer 1

you take a fckin sledghammer and whack yourself in the head really hard

Answer 2

I think you need to stir it a lot better and let it cook longer, but I never use fluff, always the real thing.  

Answer 3

You probably do need to let it cook longer.  I've never made it and don't have a jar of fluff handy - does it say the temp you need to achieve?  Do you have a candy thermometer?  If not, you can use the cold water test - drop a little bit into cold water and let it sit for a couple of minutes.  Pull it out with your fingers and it should be a soft ball - it holds its shape but is easily mushed.

Answer 4

Why don't you try using real marshmallows instead of the fluff?

If not try this:

FROSTED BROWNIES  

BROWNIES:

2 stick butter, melted

2 c. sugar

4 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

2 c. flour

1/2 tsp. salt

4 tsp. cocoa (heaping)

Chopped nuts or peanut butter bits

FROSTING:

1/2 stick butter or 4 tbsp.

1/4 c. milk

2/3 box confectioners sugar

1 tsp. cocoa

1 tsp. vanilla

Marshmallow Fluff

Melt butter and add sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix well. In sifter add together flour, salt and cocoa. Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Mix well, add chopped nuts or peanut butter bits. Grease 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

As soon as removed from oven, put thin layer of Fluff over brownies. Frosting: Heat in small pan 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 stick butter (set aside 1 to 2 tablespoons milk mixture). Add 2/3 to 1 box confectioners sugar, 1 teaspoon cocoa and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix well until smooth. If too thick, add little milk mixture, too thin, add more confectioners sugar. As soon as brownies come out of oven, frost with Fluff, then top with frosting. (Peanut butter can be used in place of Fluff).

Answer 5

I have been making that recipe for years.  I think you must not be boiling the milk/sugar/margarine combination long enough.  I usually bring to a boil over medium high heat. once it starts boiling, stir and time it for 5 mintues.  Then stir in the chips, marshmallow and vanilla.  That should

get it to set up.  Good luck.
