Ingredients
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 5 ounces Evaporated milk
- 12 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 7 ounces Marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a 9x13-inch pan by lining it with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides for easy removal, and grease lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and evaporated milk. Stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
Step 3
Continue to boil the mixture for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly, to prevent burning and ensure an even texture.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Step 5
Add the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture, stirring until the fudge is smooth and well-combined.
Step 6
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts to the mixture for added texture and flavor.
Step 7
Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to reach the edges.
Step 8
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or until it is completely set. For quicker setting, place the pan in the refrigerator.
Step 9
Using the overhanging foil or parchment paper, lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into squares or small rectangles to serve.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
