Prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the granulated sugar and evaporated milk to the melted butter. Stir continuously as you bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the mini marshmallows, dark chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir rapidly until everything is fully melted and smooth.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut into 24 bars.
Store the fudge bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
