Ingredients
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup evaporated milk
- 1 pound semi-sweet chocolate
- 7 oz. jar marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients. Make sure the chocolate is chopped if using a large block, or have the chocolate together. Chop the nuts if you are using them. Take the marshmallow creme out of the jar and place it in a bowl.
- Prepare the 9x13" baking pan. Line the pan with foil and butter the inside.
- Using a large 3 quart saucepan that has a thick bottom, bring the milk, sugar, and butter together to a rolling boil over medium heat. Make sure you are stirring constantly once it starts to boil and bubble.
- Once it starts to boil, start a timer for 4 minutes. If you are using a candy thermometer, you want to remove the fudge mixture when it reaches 234°F.
- Once the 4 minute timer goes off or the mixture reaches the temperature, add the marshmallow creme and chocolate.
- Let the chocolate and marshmallow melt and then mix together well. Add the vanilla and if you are adding walnuts, stir them in now.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and let it cool before slicing.
- Let it set for 4 hours. Place it in the refrigerator to make it more firm.
