How to Make Butter Rum Fudge

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (236°F on a candy thermometer).
  2. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup marshmallow creme, 1 teaspoon rum extract, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans.
  3. Beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the chocolate is completely melted and the fudge is smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the fudge into a buttered 9x9x2 inch baking pan. Let it cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares.
