Preparation

Step 1

My jeans are starting to realize this addiction and are starting to protest a little bit.

This fudge is so perfectly soft.  It isn’t your traditional hard and heavy fudge.  It is actually very soft and light.  Sugar laden, yes, but what fudge isn’t?  The pecans on top help add just a little bit of saltiness to tame the sugar down a bit.

The idea for this fudge came from a little booth we visited at a craft fair earlier this fall.  I have a confession…I don’t usually buy fudge at places like these. Most times I go in these shops for the free samples and for the fun new ideas.  Last year I found this

at a fair, and I had to come home and make it in my kitchen.  I may or may not have snapped some pictures of the fudge booth while I was in there scoping out some new ideas.

It is becoming one of my favorite things to make!!!  I

Easy fudge recipe made from white chocolate chips and instant cheesecake pudding mix.

1 1/2 c. marshmallow cream (fluff)

1 box (3.4 oz) instant cheesecake pudding mix

Combine the chocolate chips, butter, salt, and condensed milk in a saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until melted and smooth. Stir in the pudding mix and stir until combined. Stir for another minute while the pudding mix dissolves into the mixture. Add in the marshmallow fluff and stir until melted and smooth.

Pour fudge mixture into a wax paper lined 8x8 pan. Refrigerate until set. Remove from refrigerator and cut into small squares.

Combine the caramel and water in a small saucepan. Heat until melted. Cool slightly and drizzle over fudge squares. Sprinkle with pecan chips before the caramel hardens.

i’ve never put fluff or pudding mix into fudge before!! I have to try it.

Oh and fudge – I just prepare my tastebuds and stretchy pants for a sugar overload when I make it.

You definitely have to try the fluff and pudding in fudge. There are so many options and the fudge is so soft to bite into. Bring on the stretchy pants:-)

OMG! You put pudding mix in your fudge? How awesome; I’ve never even heard of that before! This fudge looks perfect for the holidays. Extra caramel on mine, pretty please!

Haha! I completely blame Aimee for pudding mixes in fudge:-) Extra caramel is always welcome here!!!

Oh girl, you did awesome here. What a winning combo!! Addicting, I’m sure! I suffer from the same sweets addictions…and need for stretchy pants!

This one was way too addicting…stretchy pants are a must have item right now:-)

I love the idea of using pudding mix! I’m totally addicted to pudding mix in cookies, why not fudge? And, I know what you mean – about the jeans and about the fairs. I never buy stuff there, I always come home and make it!

You and I have the same pudding addiction now:-) I can’t stop making cookies and fudge with it. It’s more fun to make these things at home with our own twists!!!

What yummy and easy to make fudge! I will have to give this a try…you know, purely so I can recommend your blog post and stuff

I was just wanting to clarify “marshmallow fluff”…. Do you mean marshmallow cream in a jar? It’s what I would assume but the jars here in Texas don’t say marshmallow fluff.

n the sides. YUM!

But that’s OK, I forgive you. You can make it up to me by letting me make this for my family and letting them think I thought of it all on my own

This looks divine! Thanks so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday

Oh sweet mercy!!! Please tell me these are gluten free!!! I’d have to make my own caramel probably since “caramel color” is suspect (and I, imagine, in the caramels. it’s been so long since i’ve bought pudding mix, I don’t remember what’s in it. But these look like they’d be worth the reaction lol!

I’m thinking of making these for an upcoming cookie/goodie exchange. I would like to make them a few days in advance. Wondering about storage and time frame they might keep until serving. They look delish!

You could definitely make these a few days earlier than your event. I would keep them in a sealed container so the fudge doesn’t dry out.

Got SOOOOoooo excited when i saw this pinned! I’ve been dying w/o cheesecake for 3 years! (hubby and i even had a cheesecake for or wedding!) Read the recipe, and my heart sank! My 3yo is egg allergic, hence the cheesecake ban. This also means no marshmallow fluff!! Any ideas on an egg free recipe?!? I confess i was never a fudge lover, and a lighter, and cheesecakier version appeals!

Cheesecake PUDDING mix? I think I’m totally lost here as I’ve never heard of it…. p.s. I’m Canadian… is it at U.S. product?

Since there are no comments on how good they are from other people who actually made them (successfully)…I feel obligated to let anyone who is wondering whether they should make this or not…DO IT! i couldn’t resist giving it a try..made them tonight and OMG…delish!!! thanks so much for sharing the recipe!

Wonder if you could use cream cheese in these instead of the pudding mix might require a bit of cornflour/cornstarch. Thin is not all countries have instant pudding.

i went to make this… but have not been able to find this cheescake pudding everyone has gotten? where did you find it? and if i cant find it , what would you subsitute for it.. its sounds devine!

The 1 1/2 cups of marshmallow fluff, is that just 1 jar?

I’m sorry but I made these and I do not see what all the hype is. First we can’t even taste the cream cheese pudding and they really only taste like a melted white chocolate bar, I let my neighbor try it and she loves any kind of sweets but did not like these. Sorry but I would not make these again. I tried it because ik love fudge, white chocolate, and cheese cake but it was nothing i was hopikng for!

I pinned this fudge because I love anything turtle, but I am disappointed to see the pudding mix in the recipe. I knew that it wouldn’t be “healthy” but instant pudding mix is full of harmful chemicals and artificial flavors. I guess I will have to go without turtle fudge this year or attempt my own recipe without such harmful ingredients.

Everyone has different opinions on ingredients. I respect that you don’t want to eat it, but I happen to love instant pudding mixes. You can make the fudge without the pudding mix too. It would just be a white chocolate turtle fudge.
