Ingredients

• 4 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon White corn syrup
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 jar (7 ounces) Marshmallow creme
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x9-inch pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large, heavy saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, corn syrup, and salt. Place over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook without stirring until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage (234–240°F) on a candy thermometer. This should take about 12–15 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes to cool slightly.

Step 5

Add the chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, vanilla extract, and nuts (if using) to the saucepan. Stir quickly and thoroughly with a wooden spoon until everything is melted, smooth, and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate until set, about 2–3 hours.

Step 8

Once set, cut the fudge into small squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
