Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups granulated white sugar
  • ¾ cup 1½ sticks butter
  • ⅔ cup evaporated milk
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips about 2 cups
  • 7 oz marshmallow creme one jar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional

Method
 

  1. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly butter the paper if desired.
  2. In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  3. Once boiling, continue to cook for exactly 5 minutes, stirring constantly. The mixture should maintain a gentle, rolling boil.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately add chocolate chips, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Add marshmallow creme and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is fully combined and glossy.
  6. Fold in nuts if using.
  7. Working quickly, pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Let cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour until completely set.
  9. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting board.
  10. Cut into 1-inch squares and store in an airtight container.
