1 package (12 oz or 340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 jar (7 oz or 198g) marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (120g) chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the foil with butter or cooking spray.
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Boil for 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
Add the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until well combined.
If desired, stir in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the fudge.
Pour the hot fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature until set, which may take several hours. You can also place it in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Once the fudge is set, use the foil overhang to lift it out of the pan. Peel away the foil and transfer the fudge to a cutting board. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy this classic Fantasy Fudge as a sweet treat or share it with friends and family during the holidays or special occasions!
