Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 can Evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, unsalted butter, and evaporated milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to boil.
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it reaches the soft-ball stage (approximately 238°F or 114°C on a candy thermometer). This process takes about 10-15 minutes. Be patient and do not rush.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and promptly stir in the vanilla extract, mini marshmallows, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir vigorously until the marshmallows and chocolate have completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
If using chopped nuts, fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature for about 2 hours, or refrigerate to speed up the process.
Once set, cut the fudge into 24 squares or desired portions. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
