Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon White corn syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 jar (7 ounces) Marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Grease a 9x9-inch pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a large, heavy saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, corn syrup, and salt. Place over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook without stirring until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage (234–240°F) on a candy thermometer. This should take about 12–15 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes to cool slightly.
Add the chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, vanilla extract, and nuts (if using) to the saucepan. Stir quickly and thoroughly with a wooden spoon until everything is melted, smooth, and well combined.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate until set, about 2–3 hours.
Once set, cut the fudge into small squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
