I have a fudge recipe which I would like to try. Unfortunately, it calls for 6 oz of marshmellow fluff. (or is it marshmallow?) I had no idea what the stuff was, but I was told that it came in small butter tubs and was sold in major supermarkets. I went to three and was told that they were no longer carrying it -- it seems that there was little demand for the stuff. Anybody know a substitute? How many marshmellows make marshmellow fluff??

I had always thought that 'marshmallow fluff' was equivalent to 'marshmallow
creme' made by Kraft (and often found amidst the ice cream toppings). But
if you'd like a different approach to making fudge, try this one:
========================================
1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)
2 small boxes Royal chocolate pudding**
1/2 cup milk
melt margarine with milk in medium-sized saucepan; stir in pudding mix
completely. bring this to a low boil and let it simmer for 30-45 seconds.
(the longer it cooks, the harder the fudge ... but if you undercook it,
it will stay nicely in the refrigerator)
remove cooked mixture from heat and beat in (with electric mixer) one
1-lb. box of confectioner's (powdered) sugar plus 1 teaspoon vanilla.
add nuts. pour into lightly buttered pan and let cool.
**do NOT use instant pudding; i have tried using other brandnames of
pudding but have not been satisfied with the results. i've never tried
different flavors of pudding.
