Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 (12 oz) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow creme
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with foil or parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. Cook the Fudge Mixture: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 4–5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Blend in Ingredients: Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted. Add marshmallow creme and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined. Fold in walnuts if desired.
  4. Set the Fudge: Quickly pour the mixture into the pan, spread evenly, and let cool at room temperature until set, about 3 hours.
  5. Serve: Cut into squares and store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, use a candy thermometer to reach 234°F (soft-ball stage).
  • You can use pecans instead of walnuts or omit nuts for a nut-free version.
