Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (600g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) evaporated milk
  • 1 jar (7 oz or 200g) marshmallow creme
  • 1 package (12 oz or 340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (170g) chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides. Lightly grease the parchment with butter or non-stick spray. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 3 cups granulated sugar, 3/4 cup unsalted butter, and 2/3 cup evaporated milk. Place over medium heat and stir constantly until butter melts and sugar dissolves.
  3. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Set a timer for 4 minutes and stir constantly.
  4. Remove the pan from heat. Immediately stir in the entire package of semi-sweet chocolate chips and the jar of marshmallow creme. Stir until smooth and glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. If using nuts, fold them in now.
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  7. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife (run knife under hot water between cuts for clean edges). Serve at room temperature.

Notes

Don’t skip the constant stirring to prevent scorching. Humidity can affect setting; on humid days, boil for an extra 30 seconds. For clean cuts, run knife under hot water between cuts. Fudge tastes even better the next day.
