Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ½ cups granulated sugar pure cane preferred
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 12-ounce can evaporated milk full fat preferred, but 2% will work
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bar coarsely chopped
  • 10 ounces sweet dark chocolate bar coarsely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 7-ounce jar marshmallow fluff
  • 1 ½ to 2 cups chopped toasted nuts such as walnut or pecan

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the sugar, salt, butter and evaporated milk to a boil. Boil for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
    Keep it just at a boil so the mixture doesn't scorch on the bottom or flow over on the stove top.
    The mixture of milk and sugar boiling over onto the stove.
  • In a large deep bowl, combine the chocolate, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract. Once the milk/sugar mixture has boiled, pour over the chocolate/mixture and stir or beat until the chocolate is all melted and the marshmallow fluff is completely incorporated (you see no white). Stir in the chopped nuts.
  • Spray or coat a 15 x 10 cookie sheet with cooking spray; or line with foil, parchment, or waxed paper. Pour the fudge in and smooth until evenly distributed. Allow to harden at room temperature. Cut into squares. 
    Makes about 3 pounds of fudge or 48 1-inch squares.

Notes

Be sure to stir the sugar/milk mixture and don't cook at too high a heat to insure it doesn't boil over.
Using the best chocolate you can helps make this fudge extra delicious.
Always use toasted nuts.
