Good Marshmallow Fudge Recipe Variations

Kirsten wrote: Whitney's favorite is smores or rocky road.  When it's cool enough to pour into the pan, add 1/2 - 1 cup of mini marshmallows (and nuts if doing rocky road)... give a quick stir.  Pour into pan, top with more marshmallows chocolate chips,  and a graham cracker cookie.  Delish!  You can also do turtle kind by adding the caramel chips at the very end and pecans.  Sooo tasty!  Thanks for sharing!

There are a lot of different variations:

*Peanut Butter Fudge: Substitute peanut butter chips for the chocolate chips; omit the nuts. 
*Cookies and Cream Fudge: Substitute white chocolate chips for the chocolate chips; substitute 1 cup crushed Oreos for the nuts. 
*Creamsicle Fudge: Substitute white chocolate chips for the chocolate chips; substitute 2 tsp. orange extract for the vanilla; omit the nuts; pour half the prepared fudge into the pan, then stir in 4 drops yellow food coloring and 3 drops red food coloring into the remaining fudge; pour the orange fudge over the plain fudge and gently marble in with a butter knife.
*Chocolate Mint Fudge: Substitute 2 tsp. peppermint extract for the vanilla; substitute 1/4 - 1/2 cup crushed candy canes for the nuts (optional).
*Almond Fudge: Substitute 2 tsp. almond extract for the vanilla; substitute 1/2 cup chopped almonds for the walnuts (optional). 
*Mint Chocolate Fudge: Add in 1 tsp of the vanilla and add 1/2 tsp mint extract
*Walnut Fudge: Add 1/2 - 1 cup chopped walnuts.
*Marshmallow Fudge: After you've added the vanilla let the mixture cool just a little bit so that you don't melt your marshmallows when you put them into the chocolate about 2-4 minutes. Then add 1/2 - 1 cup mini marshmallows.
*Rocky Road Fudge: After you've added the vanilla let the mixture cool just a little bit so that you don't melt your marshmallows when you put them into the chocolate about 2-4 minutes. Then add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
*Chocolate Raspberry Fudge: only add in 3/4 tsp of vanilla and add 3/4 tsp raspberry extract. Because the raspberry flavor is so hard to achieve you want at least a half and half ratio of raspberry to vanilla, you can play with how much raspberry you add. The more raspberry you add the less vanilla you should add, unless you want to add more chocolate chips to off set the extract as it does soften your fudge considerably.
*Mint Chocolate Raspberry Fudge: only add in 1/2 tsp vanilla and add in 3/4 tsp raspberry extract and 1/4 tsp mint extract. As before try to stay within the 1 1/2 tsp extract to the recipe ratio. Do not skip the vanilla all together though.
