📋 Ingredients You’ll Need
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Granulated sugar | 1 ½ cups |
| NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk | ⅔ cup (one 5 fl. oz. can) |
| Butter or margarine | 2 tablespoons |
| Salt | ¼ teaspoon |
| Miniature marshmallows | 2 cups |

| Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional) | ½ cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
🥣 How to Make the Famous Fudge
🧈 Step 1: Prepare Your Pan
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil. Let the edges hang over the sides — this makes it easy to lift the fudge later. Lightly grease the foil.
🔥 Step 2: Cook the Base
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a full rolling boil.
⏲ Step 3: Boil and Stir
Boil for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning and ensure a silky texture.
🍫 Step 4: Mix in the Sweet Stuff
Remove from heat and immediately stir in:
-
Marshmallows
-
Chocolate morsels
-
Vanilla
-
Nuts (if using)
Stir briskly for about a minute until everything is melted and well combined.
🥄 Step 5: Pour and Chill
Pour the mixture into your prepared pan. Spread evenly, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
🔪 Step 6: Slice and Store
Lift the fudge using the foil edges, peel it off, and slice into 48 small squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for lasting freshness.
