Equipment
- Heavy-bottomed saucepan (2-3 quart)
- Wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula
- 9×13-inch baking pan
- Aluminum foil or parchment paper
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Candy thermometer (optional)
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- Granulated sugar
- Butter or margarine
- Evaporated milk
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme
- Vanilla extract
- Chopped nuts optional, like walnuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and grease it lightly with butter. This makes removing the fudge easy once set.
- Boil the Base: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine 3 cups sugar, 3/4 cup butter, and 2/3 cup evaporated milk. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Continue boiling for exactly 5 minutes, stirring nonstop to prevent burning. If using a thermometer, reach 234°F.
- Add Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat. Immediately stir in 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
- Incorporate Marshmallow Creme: Add the entire 7 oz jar of Kraft Marshmallow Creme, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup chopped nuts (if using). Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture is well-blended and starts to lose its gloss, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour and Set: Quickly pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Spread evenly with a spatula. Let it cool at room temperature for 2 hours or until firm. Once set, lift out using the foil, cut into 1-inch squares, and enjoy your homemade kraft marshmallow creme fudge recipe!
