How to Make Classic Fantasy Fudge

  1. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, bring 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, and 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  3. Continue cooking for exactly 4 minutes, or until a candy thermometer reads 234°F (112°C), stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  5. Immediately add 2 cups (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup (7 ounces) marshmallow creme.
  6. Stir until the chocolate and marshmallow creme are completely melted and smooth.
  7. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  9. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly to cover the bottom.
  10. Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature, ideally for several hours or overnight.
  11. Once completely cool, lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang and cut into squares.
