Equipment
- Large saucepan or dutch oven
- Two 9 x 9 baking dishes or 10.5 x 15.5-inch jelly roll pan
- Spatula
- Parchment paper or wax paper
Ingredients
- 5 cups white sugar
- 1 can evaporated milk 385 mL
- 3 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 jar marshmallow creme 200 g
- ½ cup butter
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chopped walnuts, reserve ½ cup for topping optional
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine sugar and milk. Place 5 cups of white sugar and 1 can of evaporated milk in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, and boil for 9 minutes exactly.
- Step 2: Prep the pan. While the mixture is coming to a boil, line two 9 x 9 pans with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Step 3: Melt chocolate. Turn the heat down to low, and add 3 cups of chocolate chips, 1 jar of marshmallow creme, and ½ cup of butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Step 4: Add nuts and vanilla. Remove from heat and mix in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1½ cups of chopped walnuts. Stir with a rubber spatula until well incorporated.
- Step 5: Pour in pan. Working quickly before the fudge cools, pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the reserved ½ cup of crushed walnuts or Christmas sprinkles over the fudge.
- Step 6: Cool. Cool the fudge at room temperature for 3 hours, or in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- Step 7: Cut and serve. Remove the fudge from the square pan by lifting it out using the overhang of parchment paper. Place on a cutting board, cut it into 1-inch pieces with a sharp knife, and serve.
