Ingredients

• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.6667 cup Evaporated milk
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Mini marshmallows
• 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

1. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, evaporated milk, and unsalted butter. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.

Step 3

3. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly to maintain a gentle boil. Allow the mixture to boil for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

Step 4

4. Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the mini marshmallows, semisweet chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to stir until the marshmallows and chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

5. Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Work quickly, as the fudge will start to set as it cools.

Step 6

6. Let the fudge cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until it is fully set. For faster cooling, you can place the pan in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.

Step 7

7. Once the fudge has set, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into 16 equal squares.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
