How to Make Easy No Fail Chocolate Fudge No Thermometer

  1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the fudge out later.
  2. In a heavy-duty saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
  4. Continue to boil, stirring constantly, for 4-5 minutes, until the mixture slightly thickens.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  6. Immediately stir in 1 cup mini marshmallows, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, stirring vigorously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  8. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared foil-lined pan and spread evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
  10. Lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang.
  11. Remove the foil and cut into squares.
