Weight Watchers Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge

Lainey6605's Note:

This chocolate treat is quick and easy to make. I don't like to sacrifice taste even when I'm watching my weight. This recipe is perfect for those times when I'm craving chocolate, but I don't want all of the extra calories. Update 9/1/08: Despite what one reviewer states, my posting of this recipe was in no way meant to "fool" you. I do cut mine in 36 pieces. It is perfect for those times when I am craving chocolate. If I can't control my cravings then I just better not make them. Weight Watchers, or any diet, is about portion control and nothing is going to be low-fat or good for you if you eat too much of it.

I liked this fudge! I've never made fudge and It seemed simple enough, though I may have rushed the process a bit because mine came out a bit grainy but Im sure this is user error and I plan to give it a go again! For the record, I DID cut mine into 36 squares and found them to be the perfect treat size. I froze them in the mini snack size ziplock bags. The whole reason I made these is to satisfy my sweet tooth with a SMALL treat that fits into my WW diet not for a massive dessert gorge :) YUM! Thanks

Wow this was really good fudge. It was very easy to make- just takes a lot of stirring :) but it is well worth it. I liked it so much, I made another batch using Reese's peanut butter chips. These were just as good. I will definately be making this more often! I did use Splenda instead of sugar as I don't buy sugar but followed the rest of the recipe exactly.

This is a delicious and easy fudge recipe! I used 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows because that is all I had. Thanks for a great treat! I will put on my Christmas cookie platter this year :)
