How to Make 5 Minute Fudge

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 2 cups granulated sugar.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook for exactly 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Remove from heat immediately.
  5. Add 2 cups mini marshmallows, 1 cup chopped nuts (your choice!), 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Stir vigorously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the fudge is smooth and creamy.
  7. Pour the fudge into a buttered 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan.
  8. Let cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for firmer fudge.
