Here is the famous Mamie Eisenhower’s Million-Dollar Fudge — a classic mid-20th-century recipe loved for its creamy, rich texture and no-fail method. This is the version most commonly cited from Mamie’s own White House recipe.

🍫 Mamie Eisenhower’s Fudge (Million-Dollar Fudge)

Ingredients

4 ½ cups granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
12 oz German sweet chocolate, broken into pieces (usually 2 bars)
1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow creme
2 cups chopped nuts (optional but traditional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the chocolate mixture

In a large heatproof bowl, combine:

chocolate chips
German sweet chocolate pieces
marshmallow creme
chopped nuts (if using)

Set aside.

2. Cook the syrup

In a heavy saucepan, combine:
- sugar
- salt
- butter
- evaporated milk
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Once boiling, continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring continually to prevent sticking.

3. Combine & mix

Immediately pour the hot syrup over the chocolate/marshmallow mixture.
Stir until everything is fully melted and smooth.

4. Pour & set

Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment or butter it well.
Spread the fudge evenly in the pan.
Let cool completely at room temperature, then cut into squares.

Tips

Texture: For firmer fudge, refrigerate 1–2 hours after cooling.
Nuts: Walnuts or pecans are the classic choice.
Flavor variation: Add 1 tsp vanilla extract once everything is melted.
