Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 cup sugar
  • ¾ cup butter or margarine
  • ⅔ cup evaporated milk
  • 1 12oz. pkg. Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 7 oz. jar marshmallow cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Line 9 inch square baking pan with foil or parchment with sides extending or the sides.
  • Brush bottom and sides to lined pan with the melted butter
  • Combine sugar, butter or margarine, and evaporated milk in 2 ½ quart sauce pan
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring contaantly (it'll burn if you aren't stirring it, don't skip that this step). 
  • Boil for exactly 4 minutes, as soon as it starts to boil, set your time, and  CONTINUE STIRRING CONSTANTLY while it cooks.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add chocolate chips and marshmallow cream. Stir until combined.
  • Add vanilla, and stir to combine.
  • Pour into prepared the pan.
  • Let cool and set before cutting (about 30 minutes)
  • To cut, pull out of pan by pulling up on parchment paper or foil, and slice with a sharp knife.

Notes

* Butter will burn more easily. Use margarine if you are a newer baker or if you tend to burn things 
  • I like the taste of butter in this recipe more than the margarine. 
  • I'll often make a batch and put it into 3-4 mini baking pans (the little bread pans) to give as a gift. 
  • Make sure to stir the mixture constantly while boiling to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a timer to boil the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk mixture for exactly 4 minutes to achieve the perfect consistency.
    Add the chocolate chips and marshmallow cream immediately after removing the mixture from heat to ensure they melt smoothly and evenly.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat slices. Using a sharp knife can help achieve precise cuts.
