Ingredients

1½ cups white sugar
1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
⅔ cup evaporated milk
¼ cup butter
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • Line an 8×8-inch square pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease it so the fudge releases easily after setting.
  • Combine sugar, marshmallow creme, evaporated milk, butter, and salt in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a steady rolling boil.
  • Continue boiling for exactly 5 minutes, stirring nonstop to prevent scorching and ensure a smooth consistency.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the milk chocolate chips and semisweet chocolate chips until fully melted and glossy.
  • Add vanilla extract and chopped nuts, if using, and mix until evenly incorporated.
  • Pour the hot fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate until completely firm, then lift out, cut into squares, and serve.
