Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Carnation Evaporated Milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, allowing some overhang on the edges for easy removal. Lightly grease the foil with butter or nonstick spray.
In a medium-sized heavy saucepan, combine granulated sugar, Carnation Evaporated Milk, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Once boiling, continue stirring and cook for an additional 4–5 minutes. Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches about 234°F (soft-ball stage).
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Keep mixing until everything is thoroughly melted and smooth.
If desired, fold in chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly with a spatula. Work quickly as the fudge begins to set as it cools.
Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature, or refrigerate if you prefer a firmer texture.
Once cooled, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into 36 squares and serve.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
