Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Prepare an 8x8-inch square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, evaporated milk, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring continuously. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes, continuing to stir to prevent scorching.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and marshmallow creme. Stir vigorously until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly incorporated.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until it is fully set. Alternatively, you can refrigerate the fudge for faster setting.

Step 8

Once set, use the edges of the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 24 squares using a sharp knife.

Step 9

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
