Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving some overhang to lift the fudge out later. Lightly grease the foil or paper.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a heavy saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, evaporated milk, unsalted butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
- Boil the Mixture: Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 4-5 minutes. The mixture should thicken slightly.
- Add Marshmallows and Chocolate Chips: Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the mini marshmallows, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until the marshmallows and chocolate are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Nuts (Optional): If using, fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
- Cool and Set: Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours or until completely set. For quicker setting, you can refrigerate the fudge for about 1 hour.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, use the overhanging foil or parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into small squares using a sharp knife.
