Ingredients
  

For the Fudge:
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups salted butter
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet or milk chocolate
  • 1 jar marshmallow fluff (7 ounces)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Heavy-bottomed saucepan
  • Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooking thermometer

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish - Line your 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. Step 2: Combine the Ingredients - In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, salted butter, and evaporated milk. Stir over medium heat until the butter has melted completely.
  3. Step 3: Bring to a Boil - Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a full boil. Allow it to boil for exactly 4-5 minutes without stirring.
  4. Step 4: Add the Chocolate Chips and Marshmallow Fluff - Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  5. Step 5: Fold in the Walnuts - Gently fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
  6. Step 6: Pour and Set - Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Let it sit at room temperature until it sets, about 2-3 hours.
  7. Step 7: Cut and Enjoy - Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • For nut-free fudge, simply omit the walnuts.
  • Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Fudge can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
