Where does this fudge get its marshmallow flavor from?

While the fudge I remember from my childhood bake sales usually had those colorful mini marshmallows, this fudge does not have chunks of marshmallow in it. So where does the marshmallow come in?

Marshmallow creme is stirred in and melted along with the chocolate. This fudge stays beautifully smooth and creamy, but has the marshmallow flavor throughout.

The addition of marshmallow creme really helps make the fudge extra sweet and rich.

What other flavors could I add?

Fudge is a really fun thing to play with and really make it suit your preferences. There are lots of great things you can add to give it some extra flavor, like peanut butter and various candies. Adding nuts is also a popular way of creating new flavors and textures.

One really easy way of adding variety is by using a flavored Marshmallow Fluff, like strawberry. I’ve also seen Marshmallow Fluff come in caramel flavor.
