Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- 7 ounces marshmallow cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, extending the foil over the edges of the pan. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, evaporated milk, marshmallow cream, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes. The mixture should become smooth and begin to thicken.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts (if using). Mix well to combine.
Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature until set. This may take several hours, but you can speed up the process by placing the pan in the refrigerator.
Once the fudge is completely set, use the overhanging foil to lift it out of the baking dish.
Cut the fudge into bars of your desired size and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
