Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups white sugar
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 1 cup salted butter
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate (chopped)
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup walnuts (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch pan by lining it with aluminum foil or parchment paper and greasing the surface lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, and butter. Place over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil.
Once boiling, continue to cook the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Immediately stir in the miniature marshmallows, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and chopped unsweetened baking chocolate into the hot mixture. Mix until fully melted and smooth.
Fold in the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the mixture.
If desired, stir in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Work quickly, as the mixture thickens as it cools.
Allow the fudge to set at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or until firm. For faster results, you can refrigerate it for about 1-2 hours.
Once set, use the foil or parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into small squares or desired portions.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
