Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan lightly with nonstick spray and set it aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, evaporated milk, marshmallow creme, and salt.
Stir constantly until the mixture reaches a rolling boil. Once boiling, continue stirring for 5 minutes to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Use a candy thermometer if desired, aiming for a temperature of 234-240Β°F (soft ball stage).
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Mix until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and stir until it is well incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared 9x13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours or until it is firm. For faster setting, you can place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Once set, cut the fudge into bars. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
