Yes, this is the original Fantasy Fudge recipe from the back of the Kraft Marshmallow Creme jar. We'll never know why they changed the recipe on us, but we've preserved the recipe for you right here.
Makes about 1173 cups sugar
3/4 cup margarine
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 12-oz. (340 g) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 7-oz. (198 g) jar Kraft Marshmallow creme
1 cup chopped nuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Traditional method:
Combine sugar, margarine and milk in heavy 2-1/2 quart saucepan; bring to full rolling bail, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring. Remove from heat, stir in chocolate till melted. Add marshmallow creme, nuts & vanilla beat till blended. Pour into greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Let cool and cut into 1-inch squares.
Microwave method:
Microwave margarine in 4-quart microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) 1 minute or until melted. Add sugar and milk; mix well. Microwave on HIGH 5 minutes or until mixture begins to boil, stirring after 3 minutes. Mix well; scrape bowl. Continue microwaving on HIGH 5-1/2 minutes; stir after 3 minutes. Stir in chips until melted. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Pour into greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Cool at room temperature; cut into squares. Makes 3 pounds.
Note: Can be made in a smaller pan for thicker squares (yield will be reduced).

Great! I love this recipe. I adapted it by substituting peanutbutter chips and about 1/4 cup peanutbutter for the chocolate chips. Everyone raved!
Thanks!

I just bought some marshmallow creme and the only difference I can see is the amount of time to cook it. It says 4 minutes and this recipe says five minutes. Maybe Kraft changed it back to the original recipe?

Thanks so much for posting this recipe. EVERY year I go through the same thing; buying the chocolate chips and finding the recipe on the back of the jar calling for baking chocolate. THIS year I'm printing it!!

Not only is it the best tasting, it's the easiest of all, in my opinion. Thank you, I wasn't going to make my world famous Fantasy Fudge this year,(lost my recipe),family requests start around Thanksgiving. Yea, now I don't have to dissapoint my Dad.
