01 Step
Recipe View
Gather all ingredients and have them measured and ready to go. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts. (3 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil, stirring continuously to prevent scorching. (2 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Boil for exactly 5 minutes, continuing to stir constantly. Use a timer to ensure accuracy for the perfect fudge consistency. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. (1 minute)
08 Step
Recipe View
Stir vigorously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. (3 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Quickly stir in the marshmallow creme until fully incorporated and no streaks remain. (2 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View
Add the chopped walnuts and vanilla extract, stirring until evenly distributed throughout the fudge. (1 minute)
11 Step
Recipe View
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Use an offset spatula or a piece of parchment paper to spread it evenly and flatten the surface. (2 minutes)
12 Step
Recipe View
Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm to the touch. (120 minutes)
13 Step
Recipe View
Once cooled, cut the fudge into squares and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the fudge for enhanced nuttiness. Be careful not to overcook the fudge during the boiling stage, as this can result in a dry, crumbly texture. If you don’t have walnuts on hand, pecans or almonds make excellent substitutes.
For easier removal, line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some excess hanging over the sides. Once the fudge is cooled, you can simply lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper as handles. This prevents sticking and makes cutting the fudge into perfect squares a breeze.
