Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients:

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup butter

Dairy and Creamy Ingredients:

  • 1 (5 ounces/142 grams) can evaporated milk
  • 1 (7 ounces/198 grams) jar marshmallow creme

Flavor and Texture Enhancers:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan thoroughly, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking and facilitate easy fudge removal.
  2. Assemble chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl, positioning them for immediate use.
  3. Combine sugar, evaporated milk, and marshmallow creme in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring consistently to prevent scorching.
  4. Gradually bring the marshmallow mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer for approximately 6 minutes, maintaining constant stirring to achieve a smooth consistency.
  5. Transfer the hot marshmallow mixture directly onto the prepared chocolate chip and butter combination in the mixing bowl.
  6. Vigorously whisk the ingredients until chocolate completely melts and the mixture transforms into a glossy, thick fudge texture.
  7. Incorporate chopped walnuts swiftly, ensuring even distribution throughout the fudge mixture.
  8. Carefully pour the fudge into the greased baking pan, using a spatula to spread it uniformly and eliminate air pockets.
  9. Refrigerate the fudge for several hours, allowing it to set completely and develop a firm, sliceable consistency.
  10. Once fully chilled, slice the fudge into neat, uniform squares and serve at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Select high-quality chocolate chips for maximum richness and smooth texture.
  • Choose butter with low moisture content to prevent water separation during mixing.
  • Always use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to distribute heat evenly and prevent scorching marshmallow mixture.
  • Stir continuously during boiling to avoid sugar crystallization and ensure silky consistency.
