About Candies, fudge, chocolate marshmallow, prepared-from-recipe
This sweet treat combines the rich flavors of chocolate and marshmallow in a dense, creamy confection.

With 71.3g of carbohydrates per 100g, most of which come from added sugars, this fudge delivers quick energy but lacks substantial nutritional value beyond its caloric content. The 17.5g of fat includes some saturated fat from ingredients like butter or cream, while the minimal 2.3g of protein comes primarily from any dairy components used in preparation.

It's typically served as a dessert or special treat, often cut into small squares due to its richness. The treat is commonly made during holidays or given as gifts, and can be customized with additions like nuts, dried fruit, or different flavorings. For those monitoring their sugar intake, even a small portion should be considered carefully, as the treat's dense composition means calories add up quickly.
