Ingredients

• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.66 cups Evaporated milk
• 2 cups Mini marshmallows
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Pumpkin spice
• 1 pinches Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Stir over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a soft-ball stage (about 234°F on a candy thermometer).

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, and a pinch of salt. Mix vigorously until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

If using nuts, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts at this stage.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until fully set. For faster results, you can refrigerate the fudge for 1 hour.

Step 8

Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper, and cut into 16 squares or desired portions.

Step 9

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