How to Make Easy Butterscotch Fudge

  1. In a 2 1/2-quart saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup milk.
  2. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the pan as you stir.
  3. Continue boiling for exactly 5 minutes, stirring constantly, to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in 2 cups butterscotch chips until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Stir in 1 cup marshmallow creme and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  7. Pour the fudge into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  8. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature before cutting and serving. For faster cooling, you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes.
