If you’ve ever found yourself going back for just one more (and one more and just one more) chocolate covered pretzel from the bag in the cupboard, this fudge is going to rock your holiday gift baskets. This fudge tastes as if my favorite chocolate covered pretzels have met their absolutely perfect match in a marshmallow filled fudge.
This pretzel fudge is so irresistible to me that I sent it off to the office with my husband almost as soon as I had it sliced. I’m typically not a big fan of white chocolate, but this? I could snack on this salty-sweet treat all day long. If you don’t happen to be a fan of white chocolate, this fudge works beautifully (and is equally tasty) when made with semi-sweet or dark chocolate. As you can see from the photos, we happily enjoy this fudge with both kinds of chocolate. PLEASE NOTE: This recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, not heavy cream, not half and half, nothing else will work. Trust me on this. The sweetened condensed milk contains sugar which is vital to the taste, texture, and consistency of this recipe. Even if you’ve had success subbing with something else in other recipes, I promise that you NEED to use sweetened condensed milk for this fudge recipe!
For more quick and easy fudge recipes, try this classic Chocolate Pecan Fudge, Buckeye Fudge, or White Chocolate Caramel Fudge. Some of the new ones on my list to try are Salted Caramel Mocha Fudge, Easy Gingerbread Fudge, and Hot Chocolate Fudge. I don’t think I could ever have too many great fudge recipes for the holidays. Kitchen Tip: I use these bowls and this pan to make this recipe.
