Prep Time:
5 mins
Cook Time:
10 mins
Total Time:
15 mins (plus cooling time)

Ingredients:

• 1¼ cups of granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅔ cup evaporated milk
• 4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
• 1 cup (3.5 ounces) of marshmallow cream
• 10 ounces of chocolate chips (see notes)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

Directions:

1. PREP: Spray an 8×8 baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Or you can even line it with plastic wrap.
2. COOK: Melt the sugar, salt, and evaporated milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a full boil, where it looks like it will bubble up and out the pot. Then, lower the heat to medium-low and continuously stir the mixture for about 5 minutes over medium-low heat. Remove from the heat, stir in the marshmallow creme, all the chocolate chips, the butter, and vanilla. Stir until the chocolate melts, and the marshmallow creme and the butter all combine. 
3. FINISH: Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the fudge out into an even layer. Cover the surface of the fudge with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or until firm. You can even just let it sit overnight, I usually do. Lift carefully, remove the plastic wrap. Turn the fudge out onto a cutting board and cut into 16-25 pieces.

Notes:

I like to use 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 4 ounces ofextra dark chocolate and this makes fudge that isn’t too overly sweet for us. If you prefer sweeter fudge, I suggest using either all semi-sweet chocolate or even using some semi-sweet and some milk chocolate chips. If you prefer a super dark fudge, you make want to consider using 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and 4 ounces of semi-sweet chips.
Fudge keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
