In reply to Emily. Hi Emily! It's always safest to heat treat the mix first. :)

hey! im wondering if the heat of the mixture is enough to cook (or heat treat) the flour in the cake mix? 🙂

In reply to Lucky. Thank you so much for trying my recipe, Lucky! I'm so glad you enjoyed the fudge! My funfetti cheesecake bars use cake mix. :)

This recipe turned out perfectly. Thank you for all your detailed instructions.
If I don’t want to make more fudge, is there another recipe I could use for the remaining cake mix?

I used to make fudge all the time but stopped few years back. However last night my daughter tells me she needs something to bring to class, so I panicked. I googled recipes for easy birthday fudge, and this seemed good. I read the reviews etc. I don't see the issue everyone had, about it not setting. I made 3 batches all 3 turned out amazing and I even had the teacher ask me for the recipe lol Hands down simple, quick, amazing recipe

I used Ghirardelli chips and the Pillsbury cake mix and even had it chill in the fridge for almost 24 hours before cutting into, but it never quite set up correctly. It still tastes great and I’ll definitely eat it, but I’m telling my friends and family that I made taffy instead of fudge 😆. It was my first time making this recipe though, and I’ll probably still make it again!

In reply to Ashley. Either will work, but I prefer 1 1/2 teaspoons :)

In reply to Ashlyn. The video says 1 teaspoon vanilla, but the recipe itself says 1 1/2 teaspoon.

In reply to Lori knox. Hi Lori! I do use 2 cups of white chocolate chips here. When using weights, the bag actually tells you that you don't have 2 full cups in it. 2 full cups of chips is 340g and the 11oz bag only has 312g in it. For the vanilla extract, I just misspoke in the video and going back to re-film the whole thing was just not practical by the time I caught it. :)

In reply to Sam.

I think the problem is that you are actually using for than 2 cups of chocolate chips. I measured out 2 cups and had some left in the bag. I think if I had used the whole bag and then a Little more like you did,
It would have worked. Also, the vanilla is listed as 1 1/2 teaspoons but you only used 1
Teaspoon in the video.

Delicious flavor!! Just a tad bit softer/stickier than I usually prefer fudge. I used ghiradelli chips and pillsbury cake mix. Still a hit though, and very much enjoyed by friends and family.

In reply to Kimberly Hahn. Hi Kimberly! I do not have a marshmallow recipe, sorry!

I am contemplating making this fudge. Can marshmallow be used? Or do you have a recipe for using marshmallow?

Had no problems. I watched the video before making it . Make sure you use Borden sweetened condensed milk. My aunt used a off brand before on a recipe. It made the pie soupy. Sometimes you just have to use name brand.

In reply to Carla Watson. Hi Carla! That's really odd, using less condensed milk would make it more likely to set. I don't think reheating it is going to work here. I wonder if it was your particular brand of chocolate chip. Did you make any other substitutions?

In reply to Samantha. I love the flavour of this but mine didn't stiffen up.. 2 days in the fridge now. I am also from Canada and have the 10 oz cans but I only used one. Still it stayed soft though. Should I reheat it and add more cake mix maybe? Hmmm.. Thanks for any ideas

The fudge tastes really good, but I’m not a huge fan of the texture. Not really fudge-like in my opinion… it’s a bit gummy/squishy. And I do think my fudge set correctly, since after having it chill overnight, it’s very firm and almost difficult to cut. But it was easy to make and didn’t take long and like I said, it’s yummy!

In reply to Tasha. Hi Tasha! I haven't tried it but I think it could still turn out. Let me know how it goes if you try it. :)

In reply to Sugar Spun Run. Can you make this recipe without butter I have all the ingredients right now but no butter

By: Sam

Sam — Mon, 02 Aug 2021 02:15:08 +0000

In reply to Samantha. O no! I'm so sorry for the confusion! I would imagine it wouldn't set up very well if you didn't have all of the condensed milk. I'm glad you were able to catch that. :)

Samantha — Sun, 01 Aug 2021 16:27:26 +0000

Made this recipe today and it’s perfect! I was however very close to messing it up. I know you mention one 14 ounce can of condensed milk, however in Canada our standard size is a 10 ounce can, so I needed two ! Wondering if anyone else has made this error and that resulted in there fudge not setting up properly 🙂

I have been loving all of your recipes, Sam! Based on your recipes, I think we may have similar taste, lol. I’ve made this fudge 2x times now, my family enjoys it. Thanks for doing what you do!
