Ingredients

  • 1 and 2/3 cups sugar
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 and 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture reaches a rolling boil.
  3. Boil and Stir: Continue boiling the mixture for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
  4. Add Chocolate and Marshmallows: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in chocolate chips, marshmallows, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. Fold in nuts if using.
  5. Pour and Set: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly with a spatula and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours (or refrigerate for faster setting).
  6. Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge from the dish using the parchment paper. Slice into bite-sized squares and enjoy!
