This recipe has become pretty popular during Christmas time as everyone looks to make candy to pair with their cookies to hand out but we love making this easy Kahlua fudge recipe all year long. It makes a great gift for neighbors or for an adult party.
Easy Kahlua Fudge Recipe
We love making this fudge to include in our Christmas Cookie tins we pass out to neighbors, friends, and family around the holidays. The adults really seem to love it.
I have made it over the years as well to take to potluck parties, mostly adult ones. This does have alcohol in it so I don't suggest letting kids have it even though the alcohol should be cooked out, I just like being extra careful.
Ingredients
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups white chocolate chips
1/3 cup Kahlua
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper or foil and grease with shortening.
Using a large saucepan, combine the white granulated sugar and sweetened condensed milk. Cook on medium heat until the sugar has completely melted.
Stir in the white chocolate chips until melted.
Stir in the Kahlua and marshmallows.
After the marshmallows have completely melted, stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the fudge to the baking dish and allow fudge to cool to room temperature, approximately 1 hour.
Transfer to refrigerate until it completely sets up (3-4 hours), but overnight is best.

Love it! Thanks! You could use Creme design Menthe liquor for St Patrick’s day!
was wondering if you could substitute 2 cups mini marshmallows for the 10 large.
Yes i would just cut them in to smaller pieces
I made this recipe last night, unfortunately it did not set. That was because the directions missed a very important step about boiling the mixture for 4 mins, stirring constantly. Then incorporating the other ingredients in to the milk/sugar mixture.
sounds yummy. I remember making fudge with my mother as a child, it was fun and tasted soooo good. 🙂
I was wondering what exactly kahlua was and where I could find it?
It’s a type of dessert alcohol and found in liquor stores 🙂
How long can you store them? I was thinking of giving them away as gifts depending on how quickly they go bad. 🙂
No more then a month, it depends on the climate you’re in they can get to hard if stored for too long.
Do you have a weight measure for the marshmallows? There area few different sizes on the market, are you referring to the campfire marshmallows that you get in Costco?
No i use the smaller ones the ones you normally put in hot coco.
So the recipe says 10 large marshmellows, but in one of your comments it says smaller. Should they be 10 little hot chocolate marshmellows or 10 large marshmellows like you use at a campfire?
The original recipes calls for the large ones. I’ve used both and just cut up the bigger ones, personally I prefer the smaller ones now.
Can I use Bailey Irish Cream instead of Kahlua?
Yes It will just give it a different taste 🙂
I used the exact amount in ingredients and followed directions, but what did I do wrong since my fudge turned out more gooey and sticky even after being refrigerated. There were no instructions on bringing the condensed milk and sugar to any particular temperature like most fudge recipes. What did I possibly do wrong?
My fudge is not setting up. Any suggestions?
Tried making this but the sugar wouldn’t dissolve. I turned the heat up and ended up burning it so had to start over. Again the sugar would dissolve after stirring for almost half an hour. I gave up and added the white chocolate hoping the added volume would help but it didn’t. So basically I have gritty fudge
I had the same issue. Measured out and counted exactly according to directions…did all as instructed. Next morning the fudge was life soft pudding. I started again, trying to bring the heat up a bit more,but never got fudge, just sugar chunks in the mix of it all. No luck…
Is there any steps I can take if this recipe did not set up? I followed recipe exactly and everything seemed fine in the prep, but after 24 hrs it is still too soft. Ideas?
This says 10 large marshmallows, and then says 10 mini marshmallows (large). Which is it?
