Ingredients

Instructions

Prepare Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Cook Sugar Mixture: In a 3–4 quart saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, margarine, and evaporated milk. Stir constantly until mixture reaches a rolling boil (5–8 minutes).

Boil: Continue boiling for exactly 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

Add Chocolate: Stir in chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.

Add Marshmallow & Flavoring: Mix in marshmallow creme and vanilla until no streaks remain. Stir in walnuts.

Set Fudge: Spread mixture evenly in prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Cool & Slice: Let fudge cool completely before lifting from the pan and cutting into 1×1-inch squares.

Notes

Make Ahead & Freeze: Wrap fudge tightly in parchment and foil; freeze up to 2 months. Slice before or after freezing.

Ingredient Tips: Use fresh marshmallow creme and good-quality chocolate chips for best flavor. Butter can be substituted for margarine but changes texture slightly.

Nut Variations: Swap walnuts for pecans if desired.

Safety Tip: Hot sugar mixture is very dangerous — stir constantly and keep kids away during boiling.
