Ingredients

• 4.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
• 2 jars (7 ounces each) marshmallow cream
• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly. Set it aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently until the butter is melted and the sugar dissolves.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Use a candy thermometer if desired; the mixture should reach 234–240°F (soft-ball stage).

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the marshmallow cream, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 6

Mix in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts (if using). Stir thoroughly to ensure an even distribution.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or place it in the refrigerator to set more quickly.

Step 9

Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into 36 squares or desired serving sizes.

Step 10

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
