Ingredients

  • 16 ounces milk chocolate (I use two 8 ounce Hershey bars broken into pieces)
  • 24 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips I use the Guittard brand
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
  • 4 ¼ cups sugar
  • 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Butter a 9x13-inch glass baking dish or line with parchment paper (for easier removal from the pan). Set aside. Combine milk chocolate, chocolate chips, butter, and marshmallow in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Notes

  • Boil for 4 full minutes at a rolling boil using a timer for the best set.
  • Use marshmallow creme, not regular marshmallows, for the right texture.
  • Stir and scrape the bowl well so the fudge is completely smooth before pouring.
  • Smooth once and leave it so the top stays pretty.
  • Store covered in the fridge for the classic firm, creamy bite.
