Servings: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 jar marshmallow fluff (7 ounces)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by lining your 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. This will ensure the fudge comes out easily once it’s set. Leave some overhang to lift the fudge out later.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the 3 cups of granulated sugar, 1 cup of salted butter, and 1 cup of evaporated milk. Stir over medium heat until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Continue to boil the mixture, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes. This is crucial for achieving that perfect fudge consistency. Remove from heat when the time is up.
- Once removed from heat, immediately stir in the 2 cups of chocolate chips and the jar of marshmallow fluff. Stir until both are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Next, fold in the 1 cup of chopped walnuts and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well combined.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly with your spatula, and let it sit at room temperature until fully set. This usually takes around 4 hours, but for best results, let it set overnight.
- Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut it into squares and enjoy your homemade Original Fantasy Fudge!
