Instructions

  • Line an 8x8” glass pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

  • Stir in the marshmallows, chocolate chips, vanilla, and nuts. Stir for 1-2 minutes or until the marshmallows melt.

  • Cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips: You could use milk chocolate or dark chocolate but the semi-sweet gives this recipe just the right amount of sweetness.
  • Evaporated milk: NOT sweetened condensed milk.
  • Miniature marshmallows: I don’t recommend using regular or jumbo marshmallows because they will not melt at the same rate as miniature marshmallows which could cause problems!
  • Walnuts (optional): You can also add it any other types of nuts.
  • Be sure and keep an eye on your evaporated milk mixture the entire time it is on the heat. Stir constantly but slowly to keep it from burning.
  • Feel free to mix up the nuts or leave them out completely!
  • Allow the fudge to cool completely for at least two hours or overnight. Cutting into it too soon will be very sticky!
  • For clean, smooth cuts, dip your knife in hot water, then quickly dry it off to keep the blade warm. This makes slicing through the fudge effortless. You can also use this trick with cookie cutters to create fun shapes!
