Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 5 oz Evaporated milk
- 7 oz Marshmallow creme
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan lightly with nonstick spray and set it aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, evaporated milk, marshmallow creme, and salt.
Step 3
Stir constantly until the mixture reaches a rolling boil. Once boiling, continue stirring for 5 minutes to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Use a candy thermometer if desired, aiming for a temperature of 234-240°F (soft ball stage).
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Mix until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and stir until it is well incorporated.
Step 6
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared 9x13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours or until it is firm. For faster setting, you can place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Step 8
Once set, cut the fudge into bars. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
