- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 7 oz jar marshmallow creme (or fluff)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Directions:
- Prepare the pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Combine sugar, butter, and milk: In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
- Boil the mixture: Continue boiling for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.
- Add chocolate and marshmallow creme: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and marshmallow creme until completely melted and smooth.
- Add vanilla and nuts: Stir in the vanilla extract and, if using, the chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
- Pour into the pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Cool and set: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature until set, about 2-3 hours. For quicker setting, you can refrigerate it for about 1 hour.
- Cut and serve: Once the fudge is set, cut it into squares and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
