Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13 inch pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the fudge.

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and evaporated milk.

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a full rolling boil.

Once boiling, continue to stir and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 234°F on a candy thermometer.

Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, vanilla extract, and salt.

Step 6

Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate chips are fully melted.

Step 7

If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.

Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or until it is completely set.
