📋 Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk 🥛
  • 2 cups granulated sugar 🍬
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 🧈
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows 🍥
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips 🍫
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fudge Base:

  1. Combine ingredients:
  • In a medium-sized, heavy saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, granulated sugar, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  1. Bring to a boil:
  • Continue stirring until the mixture comes to a full boil. Once boiling, let it boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The mixture should thicken slightly during this time.

2. Make the Fudge:

  1. Add marshmallows and chocolate:
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately stir in the mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Stir until the marshmallows and chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  1. Pour into a pan:
  • Pour the fudge mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.

3. Set and Serve:

  1. Cool the fudge:
  • Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until fully set. You can also place it in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
  1. Cut into squares:
  • Once set, cut the fudge into small squares using a sharp knife.
  1. Serve:
  • Enjoy these rich, creamy fudge squares! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

🍽️ Tips:

  • Add-ins: For extra flavor, mix in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, before pouring the fudge into the dish.
  • Variations: You can substitute white or dark chocolate chips for a different twist on this classic recipe.
