This is a veganized version of the recipe that used to be on the back of the Kraft Marshmallow Cream jar.

I used turbinado sugar (which gave it a nice caramelly flavor) but you can feel free to use any kind of sugar that will melt and caramelize (regular white sugar will work, a sugar substitute like splenda or stevia will not.)

omg that sounds incredibly rich and high in calories.

Too bad I can't make it. We don't get flavoured soy creamers here, try as I have to convince silk that they should let us have them.

I LOVE YOU!!!

I'm very sentimental about fantasy fudge;it's been a Christmas tradition

in my family ever since I can remember. I was feeling a little sad about not being

able to make it this year.

Thank you so much!

It's not EXACTLY the same as the Kraft Fantasy fudge but it's awefully close. It doesn't stay quite as firm at room temperature so I've had to keep it in the fridge.

Thank you for this! I'm going to try it this weekend!

So has anyone tried making this fudge? I would like to make some for Thanksgiving and was looking for opinions. I will be using Smuckers marshmallow ice cream topping(it is vegan,right?)

^ Just looked it up:

HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, WATER, CORN STARCH-MODIFIED, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: TITANIUM DIOXIDE (COLOR), CELLULOSE GEL, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, CELLULOSE GUM, POTASSIUM SORBATE (PRESERVATIVE), BLUE 2.

Looks terrible but vegan as far as I can see, ha.

Do you think you could add a little vanilla flavoring to regular soy creamer?

 

[codemonkey]

You could use plain soy creamer if you want. It would just be slightly less vanilla-y.

 

[Kittylover]

I haven't been able to find vanilla creamer either. Would french vanilla be okay?

 

[codemonkey]

The original recipe called for plain evaporated milk so feel free to use whatever flavor of creamer you think will taste good.

I don't care for marshmallow that much. I wonder if this could be made without it?

I've copied the recipe, but I'm going to wait until around Christmas to make this, so I can share it and don't wind up eating it all myself. Maybe I should make it with marshmallow if everyone else will prefer it that way.

I made this recipe this afternoon. I'm so sorry I did - I know I'm going to eat it all up before Christmas!!!!

Thanks - it's wonderful!
