Ingredients
- 3 cups white sugar
- ¾ cup salted butter see notes
- ⅔ cup evaporated milk
- one ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips
- one .5 ounce jar marshmallow creme or 2 heaping cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13-inch pan or for the best results, line the pan with parchment paper with extra hanging over the edge for handles.
- Mix the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Bring the mixture to a full boil and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. If you are using a candy thermometer, the reading should be 234°F. It is also ready when a small bit of fudge turns into a soft ball in cold water when it's ready.
- Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Stir in the marshmallow creme (or marshmallows) until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Mix in the walnuts and vanilla.
- Sppon the fudge into the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread out and flatten. Let cool for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Margarine is used in the original recipe but I prefer butter. Used salted butter, the salt cuts the sweetness of the fudge perfectly
- You can adjust the flavor of this fudge by adding in a different extract
- Add in a cup of different nuts, or candies instead of walnuts. This is a great basic fudge recipe.
