Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 5 ounces evaporated milk
• 7 ounces marshmallow cream
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, extending the foil over the edges of the pan. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, evaporated milk, marshmallow cream, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes. The mixture should become smooth and begin to thicken.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until completely melted and smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts (if using). Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature until set. This may take several hours, but you can speed up the process by placing the pan in the refrigerator.

Step 8

Once the fudge is completely set, use the overhanging foil to lift it out of the baking dish.

Step 9

Cut the fudge into bars of your desired size and serve.

Step 10

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
