Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter
  • 0.75 cups evaporated milk
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 7 ounces marshmallow creme
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cups chopped walnuts
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet or a flat platter with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, evaporated milk, and salt.

Step 3

Place the pan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for 4 minutes while stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, vanilla extract, and chopped walnuts.

Step 6

Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

Step 7

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of the fudge mixture onto the prepared parchment paper.

Step 8

Let the nuggets cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or until they are firm and set.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
