Ingredients
Sugar, 3 cups
Butter, ¾ cup
Evaporated milk, 2/3 cup
Semi-sweet chocolate chips, 12 ounces
Marshmallow cream, 7 ounces
Salt, ¼ teaspoon
Vanilla, 1 and ½ teaspoon
Walnuts, 1 cup chopped, roasted
Preparation
Pre-measure everything. Cut the butter into pieces. Open the bag of chocolate chips. Open the marshmallow cream. Roast the walnuts for 6 minutes at 350 degrees F. When cool, chop most of them. Save some of the halves to place on top.
In a large pot, with a heavy bottom, add the butter, evaporated milk, salt and sugar. Have a candy thermometer ready to use. Set the temperature to 234 degrees. On medium heat, stir as it starts to boil. Use a wooden spoon. Keep stirring. Place the candy thermometer into your pan. Mine attaches to the side of the pan. Use a potholder to protect your hand as you constantly stir. When the mixture reaches 234 degrees, remove from the heat. Remove the thermometer. Add in the chocolate chips. Stir until blended. Add in the marshmallow cream. Stir. Once blended, add in one cup of roasted chopped walnuts. Use a 9 x 5 baking or casserole dish. Line with parchment paper or butter the dish. Scoop or pour the fudge into that dish. The top will have dips & swirls. Add the half pieces of roasted walnuts, on top. Place in the refrigerator for two hours before cutting. Store in the refrigerator.
