Ingredient Notes

How to Make Cinnamon Fudge
Lots of fudge recipes require you to boil a candy mixture to the ideal temperature using a candy thermometer to check for accuracy. While the method works, it’s undeniably a bit fussy.
Plus, most of us don’t have candy thermometers on hand when making fudge for our family and friends.
My method for homemade fudge is so much easier and the results are every bit as delicious, if not even better.
- Add cinnamon chips and the marshmallow fluff to the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Boil heavy cream, melted butter, salt and sugar together for 4 minutes on the stove.
- Pour the boiled mixture over the cinnamon chips and fluff. Beat with the mixer until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour into a lined baking dish. Let set for 3 hours. Slice and enjoy!
That’s it!
Recipe FAQs
Cinnamon chips are cinnamon flavored morsels used for baking. You can find them in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips. They’re easy to find online too, if your grocery store doesn’t carry them.
Store your cinnamon fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It keeps well for about 1 -2 weeks.
Fudge stays softer longer when it’s stored in blocks rather than bite-sized pieces.
Any fudge you don’t expect to eat right away should be stored uncut for best freshness.
Yes, you can substitute mini marshmallows. We suggest one bag of mini marshmallows in place of the 7 oz. jar of marshmallow fluff listed in the recipe ingredients.
