Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Evaporated milk
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 jar (7 ounces) Marshmallow creme
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, evaporated milk, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula.
Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, continue to stir constantly and allow it to cook for 4-5 minutes, or until it reaches the soft-ball stage (about 234–240°F or 112–116°C on a candy thermometer).
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the jar of marshmallow creme and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment to beat the mixture on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes fluffy and slightly lighter in texture.
Immediately pour the whipped fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until it is fully set.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper, and use a sharp knife to cut it into squares.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
