Classic Homemade Fantasy Fudge: A Creamy Delight in Just 5 Steps

Line a 9×9-inch or 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the lining.
Cook the Sugar Mixture:

In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a rolling boil. Boil for exactly 5 minutes, continuing to stir to prevent scorching.
Add Chocolate and Marshmallow:

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth. Then, add the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Incorporate Nuts (Optional):

If using nuts, fold them into the fudge mixture. This step adds a delightful crunch and extra flavor to the fudge.
Set and Cool:

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Let it cool at room temperature for 2–3 hours, or until fully set. Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and cut it into squares.
