1

Prepare a quadruple batch of fudge ingredients for the holidays.

2

For chocolate fudge, combine sugar, chocolate, butter, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and marshmallow fluff in a pot.

3

Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature, aiming for 234 degrees.

4

Stir the mixture while it boils, being cautious of splattering; use an oven mitt for protection.

5

Note that the creator mistakenly cooked the mixture longer than needed, resulting in a slightly drier fudge, but it was still well-received.

6

For peanut butter fudge, mix equal parts peanut butter and store-bought vanilla frosting.

7

Attempt a swirl technique by combining both chocolate and peanut butter fudge, though the creator notes it didn't turn out as desired visually.

8

Allow the fudge to cool before cutting it into cubes.
