    Does this fudge stay firm after it is removed from the refrigerator? Thanks!

      It will soften a little after being out of the fridge for a while.

    Do you know if you can substitute regular marshmallows for the marshmallow cream? We can't use it because of food allergies and I have been dying for a good fudge recipe but they all use the marshmallow cream.

      If you can use sweetened condensed milk, this recipe is amazing. Soft and smooth every time. Just substitute a bag of Andes chips for 2 cups of the chips called for in the recipe. It's my favorite and so versatile. http://www.eaglebrand.com/recipes/details/?RecipeId=3968

      We have never made this fudge using marshmallows. So I googled it and the answers varied. A lot of people said it would work fine, but the consistency may be a little different and the taste a little different. Would take about 1 3/4 cups of mini marshmallows to equal the 7 ounce container of marshmallow creme. Hope this helps!

    I make this same fudge recipe every year with regular chocolate chips. Andes chips sounds great! I usually add the marshmallow creme at the end with the chips and don't boil it with the other ingredients. Did I read that right or maybe this is a fabulous new tip!

      Me neither! Quite disappointed! Think I'll try the other suggestion of adding marshmallow at the end.

    Any ideas where I might purchase the Andes baking mints chips at? Cannot find at my local grocery stores. Can I just use my regular mints?

    Any ideas why this only has a 1 star rating?? I would love to try it, but I don't want to waste my time on something that doesn't work either.

      Probably because it won't set and you have to eat it with a spoon. It tastes good, though.

    This recipe is way too soft/Melty and sticky and won't come out like the picture at all... Just trying to save people time and ingredient money.

    Mine looked nothing like your picture. The green from the mint rose to the top and the chocolate part did not set right. It was horrible...to me anyways...but my kids like it. Debbie- Walmart carries the Andes chips in the baking aisle.

    Have tried this recipe twice. It won't set. I am going to try to resurrect the second try with some chocolate chips. Are you sure this is supposed to be evaporated milk? I see other recipes use sweetened condensed. Huge difference!

    This didn't turn out for me at all... too bad, because it's not exactly a cheap recipe to make. The "fudge" is super gooey. I think I'll roll into small balls and coat in icing sugar, maybe?

    Try making it without boiling the marshmallow. Add that and the chips at the end. That will make it set.

    Total waste of money! Followed directions exactly and it did not set. Had the consistency of caramel.

    We make this fudge every year, except we usually use regular chocolate chips. This year I decided to try it with the Andes mint chips. It is the same recipe that is on the back of the Kraft marshmallow cream jar. You do not want to boil the marshmallow cream along with the other ingredients, instead, add it at the end with the chips and it will turn out great.

      Thank God I read your comment, Heather. I bought everything for this and did not see the rating beforehand. These recipes can spread fast on Pinterest and this one seems to be popular.

    I don't know what you people are doing. We own several shops make 40 different fudge variations. I make this one personally. NO problems setting.

    Count me in as one who was not able to get this to set up. It's a huge bummer because this is not a cheap recipe to make.

    I read reviews and whisked in the marshmallow after I cooked it but I still had the same problem Dana did. The green rose to the top and it looks really gross. Tastes ok but I don't know what I did wrong!

    You have to boil the sugar milk mixture long enough or it won't set.

    I too had problems with the recipe, I followed the directions exactly. I should have read the reviews and suggestions first. The first batch way too soft. The second and third set but there was a thin layer of hardened oil. It either separated from the chocolate or the butter. What a disappointment as this was suppose to be for Christmas gifts.

    Looking here for advice about why this didn't set. Followed directions exactly. Looks like a lot are having this prob. Bummer! I am dipping apple slices in it and it tastes amazing, but I wanted fudge cubes. Any updates on this recipe?

    Add marshmallow creme, vanilla, and Andes mint pieces after you boil it.

    I just made this recipe and changed it a wee bit. I added the marshmallow creme at the end as someone had suggested. I also reserved 1/2 cup of the Andes Mint baking chips to sprinkle on top after putting mixture into 9x13 pan. I added 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips to fudge mixture to replace the Andes Mint baking chips I had reserved. The fudge started setting up immediately after putting into the pan. Can't wait to try it!

    I just made this and it's setting up perfectly. You have to make sure it is actually HARD boiling for 5+ minutes which means a rolling boil that you can't stir down. It's actually better to just use a candy thermometer and make sure it gets to 234 degrees before you take it off the heat. They are like $5 at Walmart and you can make sure your fudge won't fail.

    After reading all the reviews I was a little nervous following this recipe so I tweaked it and it turned out PERFECTLY! I did not have the Andes baking pieces so I just used about 9 ounces of the regular bar ones and chopped them up so they would melt quicker. I always follow the Nestle Toll House Fudge recipe and when I want a different flavor I just change the chips ( in this case, the Andes mints). Anyway, to me, this is the easiest fudge recipe ever (toll house) and it always sets up, lookes great and most importantly tastes awesome! I wish I could upload a picture so you could see for yourself! 1 1/2 c sugar, 2/3 c evaporated milk, 2 tab butter, 1/4 teas salt ( I omitted), 2 c miniature marshmallows, 9-10 ounces Andes mints and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Bring 1st 4 ingredients to a full rolling boil, stirring CONSTANTLY. After it boils I always turn the heat down to medium and continue to boil for 3-5 minutes. Then I remove from heat and add the remaining ingredients stirring quickly until the marshmallows are all melted. Pour into prepared pan, refrigerate for a bit and VOILA, you have some amazing fudge and you'll be asked to make it over and over again!! :)

    Too gooey. I followed the directions, even cooked it a bit longer. Wish I had used my candy thermometer. It’s more like fudge frosty than fudge.
