Equipment
- 1 heavy sauce pan
- 1 Stove
- measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 12 tbs butter
- 21/3 cups evaporated milk
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 7 oz marshmallow cream
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 pan by lining with either wax paper or parchment paper.
- In a sauce pan over medium to medium high heat melt butter, evaporated milk and sugar together stirring constantly. Apply a candy thermometer to the saucepan and keep track of the temperature.
- When the mixture starts to bubble you will need to stay on the heat for about another 5 minutes. Heat until the mixture reaches 237-239. Once that temp is reached, stir briskly for one more minute and remove from the heat.
- Once off of the heat, add the vanilla, chocolate chips and marshmallow cream and stir until mixed well. Once mixed well, pour into the prepared 9x13 dish.
- Allow to cool completely (either place in the fridge or allow to sit out on the counter until cooled). Cut into single serving squares and place into a well sealed container.

Notes
- Heat the ingredients over medium to medium high heat. You'll need to understand your own stove here. You do not want the whole thing to boil furiously, just a gentle bubble.
- Once you put the first three ingredients into the saucepan, stir constantly and keep your thermometer in the pan. Make sure to stir behind the thermometer if it isn't clipped onto the side of the pan.
- You'll notice as the saucepan comes to full temp (237-239) that a color change happens in the mix. This is when its time to remove from the heat. You probably won't notice this mild change until you've made this a few times.
- Remove from the heat and then add the vanilla because the vanilla degrades a little with the heat.
- It is HARD to stir in the marshmallow fluff, just keep stirring and you'll get there.
- If you prefer nuts in your fudge, add those after the marshmallow fluff or sprinkle them over the top.
