Ingredients

Directions

  1. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it generously with butter.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, and margarine.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and continue boiling slowly until the mixture reaches 238&# 194;°F (114ðC) (the soft-ball stage).
  5. Remove the pan from the heat immediately.
  6. In a separate large bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, marshmallow fluff, chopped nuts, and vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the hot sugar mixture over the chocolate mixture in the bowl.
  8. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  9. Quickly pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
  10. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature until it is firm enough to cut, then refrigerate to set completely.
  11. Cut into squares and serve.

Note

Ensure you use a reliable candy thermometer to achieve the correct temperature for the soft-ball stage (238ðF). Cooking to the correct temperature is crucial for the proper texture of the fudge.

You can substitute butter for the margarine for a richer flavor, though margarine works well for a lighter texture.

If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the chopped nuts or replace them with additional chocolate chips or dried fruit.

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or in the refrigerator for longer storage. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

For easier cutting, ensure the fudge is completely cool and firm before slicing.
