The Story
Originally printed on the back of the Marshmallow Fluff jar in the mid-1960s, this recipe revolutionized home candy-making by using marshmallow creme to prevent crystallization. It gained further fame as 'Fantasy Fudge' when a similar version appeared on the back of Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme jars, becoming a staple of American holiday tradition.
