Instructions
Step No.1: Prepare the Pan
- Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
Step No.2: Heat the Sugars and Milk
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
Step No.3: Add Butter and Cook
- Add butter and salt, then continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 234°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
Step No.4: Add Chocolate and Marshmallow Cream
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in the chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until smooth.
Step No.5: Pour and Set
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.
Step No.6: Slice and Serve
- Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
Notes
- Use a candy thermometer: Ensuring the mixture reaches 234°F is key for the perfect fudge texture.
- Stir constantly: This prevents the sugars from burning and creates a smooth consistency.
- Cool completely: Let the fudge set properly for the best texture.
- Walnut Mackinac Fudge: Add ½ cup chopped walnuts for a crunchy twist.
- Peanut Butter Fudge: Swirl in ¼ cup peanut butter before pouring into the pan.
- Dark Chocolate Fudge: Substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
