Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Evaporated milk
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Marshmallow crème
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped unsalted nuts (optional)
Instructions
Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan with a small amount of unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the 0.5 cup of unsalted butter.
Add 2 cups of granulated sugar and 0.75 cup of evaporated milk to the melted butter.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, cook for an additional 4 minutes while still stirring.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips until completely melted.
Add 1 cup of marshmallow crème and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Fold in 0.5 cup of chopped unsalted nuts if desired for added texture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared 8x8 inch pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until fully set and firm.
Once set, cut the fudge into 16 bars and enjoy your low sodium chocolate treat.
