How to Make Ella Mae's Creamy Sure Fudge

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and salt. Stir constantly over medium heat until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling for exactly 8 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning. Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches 235°F (113°C) – the soft-ball stage.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the fudge begins to thicken.
Pour the fudge into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish. Let it cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares.
Once cooled, cut into bite-sized pieces and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
