I absolutely love baking this time of year and my family loves eating baked goods- everything from Thanksgiving pies to Christmas cookies. There’s one thing that we enjoy all season long {especially my husband}- fudge!
Since my husband was a kid, fudge has been one of his favorite holiday treats. I didn’t eat it growing up but quickly discovered how delicious it is- but I’ve never actually made it before. After years and years of buying it for him and promising to learn how to make it, I finally did!
When I was ordering the ingredients I needed for the fudge on the Sam’s Club website, I added Diet Coke® {our fave} to my cart and had the brilliant idea to add it to the fudge, too! I am so glad I did- it added just the right amount of flavor without being overpowering. It really brought out the chocolate flavor even more and my husband absolutely loved it!
Diet Coke Fudge
Ingredients:
1 container marshmallow cream
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 1/4 cup sugar
½ cup Diet Coke
Pinch of salt
1 bag milk chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Combine marshmallow cream, sugar, milk, and Diet Coke® in a pot. This is easiest to do over a very low heat so you can start melting the marshmallow cream but be careful of that heat!
2. Once combined, add a pinch of salt and allow mixture to come to a boil. Once it has begun boiling, continue heating- stirring continuously- for about five minutes. Be sure to really reach to the bottom of the pot to stir it all up, the marshmallow cream can create “pockets” that need to be mixed up!
3. After five minutes, stir in the chocolate chips and stir until combined with the mixture. Add vanilla extract and combine.
4. Pour into a pan buttered or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Let the fudge cool and set completely- this may take a few hours. Enjoy!
In addition to the delicious and sweet fudge that I got out of it, my favorite thing about my trip to Sam’s Club was that I tried Club Pickup for the first time! It was SO easy and convenient- I placed my order online the night before and selected a pickup time. When that time came, I just went to the designated Club Pickup register where they grabbed my order from “the book.” They printed me a receipt and led me to my cart, where my order was waiting for me! I was in and out of the store in under five minutes. It was SO easy and such a great time saver, especially during this super busy time of year!
