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
- Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan thoroughly, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking and facilitate easy fudge removal.
- Assemble chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl, positioning them for immediate use.
- Combine sugar, evaporated milk, and marshmallow creme in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring consistently to prevent scorching.
- 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.
- Transfer the hot marshmallow mixture directly onto the prepared chocolate chip and butter combination in the mixing bowl.
- Vigorously whisk the ingredients until chocolate completely melts and the mixture transforms into a glossy, thick fudge texture.
- Incorporate chopped walnuts swiftly, ensuring even distribution throughout the fudge mixture.
- Carefully pour the fudge into the greased baking pan, using a spatula to spread it uniformly and eliminate air pockets.
- Refrigerate the fudge for several hours, allowing it to set completely and develop a firm, sliceable consistency.
- 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.
