Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme (fluff)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional: walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. **Prepare Your Pan:** Grease and lightly flour an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan. You can also line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides, to make removal easier. Set aside.
  2. **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, butter pieces, and evaporated milk.
  3. **Bring to a Boil:** Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Once dissolved, bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and scorching.
  4. **Boil for Specified Time:** Set a timer and allow the mixture to boil vigorously for exactly 5 minutes without stirring. This step is crucial for achieving the correct fudge consistency.
  5. **Remove from Heat and Add Remaining Ingredients:** Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. Quickly add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, and vanilla extract.
  6. **Stir Until Smooth:** Stir vigorously and continuously with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula until all the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is perfectly smooth and well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes. If using, fold in the chopped nuts at this stage.
  7. **Pour and Cool:** Pour the fudge mixture evenly into your prepared pan.
  8. **Set and Serve:** Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature for several hours or in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours until firm. Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang (if used), and cut it into 1-inch squares.

Notes

For best results, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching. Do not stir the mixture once it reaches a rolling boil for the 5-minute duration to avoid crystallization. Ensure all chocolate and marshmallow creme are fully dissolved for a smooth texture.
