Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Servings: 24 pieces

Ingredients
 

  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter 1 1/2 sticks
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 jar 7 oz marshmallow creme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pan:
  • Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, allowing the edges to overhang for easy removal. Grease lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  • Melt Sugar and Butter:
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, butter, milk, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Cook to the Right Temperature:
  • Once boiling, attach a candy thermometer to the pan and cook the mixture to 234°F (112°C), stirring frequently. This is the “soft-ball stage.” If you don’t have a thermometer, drop a bit of the mixture into cold water—it should form a soft, pliable ball.
  • Add Flavorings and Chocolate:
  • Remove the pan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, semisweet and milk chocolate chips, and marshmallow creme. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  • Pour into Pan:
  • Immediately pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  • Cool and Set:
  • Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
  • Cut and Serve:
  • Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
