Equipment

candy thermometer

Ingredients

3 cups granulated sugar
⅔ cups butter (about 1 ⅓ sticks)
⅔ cups evaporated milk (5 oz can)
1 tsp vanilla extract
7 oz marshmallow creme
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Spray a 9-inch square pan with baking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
In a large saucepan over medium to medium-high heat, bring the butter, sugar, and evaporated milk to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
Keep stirring and boil for 5–10 minutes, until a candy thermometer reaches 234°F. Remove from heat right away.
Stir in the vanilla, chocolate chips, and marshmallow creme until smooth and melted. Stir in walnuts or pecans here if using.
Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Let it cool completely at room temperature until set.

Storage Instructions

Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Don't store it in the fridge-it will get crumbly) For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving for best texture.
