Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.66 cup Evaporated milk
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 jar (7 ounces) Marshmallow creme
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 small amount (to grease pan) Cooking spray or butter
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and evaporated milk.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Attach a candy thermometer if desired.
Once boiling, continue to cook for 4-5 minutes while stirring until the mixture reaches approximately 234°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Add in the marshmallow creme, vanilla extract, and chopped walnuts (if using). Stir until everything is well combined.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or until set. For quicker results, refrigerate for 1 hour.
Once firm, cut the fudge into 1-inch squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
