Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/2 cup | Butter |
| 5 cups | Sugar |
| 2 cups | Evaporated milk |
| 1 cup | Marshmallow creme |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla extract |
| 1 cup | Nuts (of your choice) |
Instructions:
- Melt Butter: Begin by melting the butter in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat.
- Add Milk and Sugar: Once the butter is melted, add the evaporated milk to the saucepan and blend well. Gradually stir in the sugar, ensuring it’s fully incorporated into the mixture. Continue stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Boil Vigorously: Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and let the mixture boil vigorously for about 8 minutes. Stir continuously to prevent sticking or burning.
- Incorporate Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and swiftly add the chocolate morsels to the mixture. Beat the mixture vigorously until the chocolate morsels are completely melted and well combined.
- Add Marshmallow Creme: Next, add the marshmallow creme to the mixture, continuing to beat until it’s fully melted and evenly blended.
- Blend Vanilla and Nuts: Incorporate the vanilla extract and the nuts of your choice into the mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly distributed.
- Transfer to Pan: Prepare a rectangular pan by greasing it with butter. Transfer the fudge mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. The pan should be approximately 12x7x2 inches in size.
- Allow to Set: Allow the fudge to cool and set for at least 6 hours at room temperature. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
- Cut and Store: Once set, cut the fudge into large squares using a sharp knife. Store the fudge in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
