Ingredients

Directions

  1. Grease a 9x9 inch or 13x9 inch pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine the sugar, margarine, and evaporated milk.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a full boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
  4. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and boil the mixture for 5 minutes, or until it reaches 234ðF (112ðC) (soft-ball stage), stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately.
  6. Gradually stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
  7. Stir in the marshmallow crème, vanilla extract, and chopped nuts until well blended.
  8. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
  9. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature until firm, which may take several hours or overnight.
  10. Once set, cut into squares and serve.
