Ingredients

  • 4 cups Granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Brown sugar
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter
  • 1 can Evaporated milk
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Mini marshmallows
  • 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, unsalted butter, and evaporated milk.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to boil.

Step 4

Continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it reaches the soft-ball stage (approximately 238°F or 114°C on a candy thermometer). This process takes about 10-15 minutes. Be patient and do not rush.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and promptly stir in the vanilla extract, mini marshmallows, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir vigorously until the marshmallows and chocolate have completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature for about 2 hours, or refrigerate to speed up the process.

Step 9

Once set, cut the fudge into 24 squares or desired portions. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
