Ingredients

• 3 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Salted butter
• 1 cup Evaporated milk
• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups Mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, salted butter, and evaporated milk over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir the mixture constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a boil, continuing to stir constantly, and let it cook for 5 minutes. Be careful not to let it scorch.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 6

If using chopped nuts, gently fold them into the mixture at this stage.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to fully set.

Step 9

Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into small squares for serving.

Step 10

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
