How to Make Famous Fudge

  1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. This is crucial to prevent scorching.
  4. Continue boiling, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes, ensuring the mixture reaches a full rolling boil.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  6. Stir in the marshmallows, chocolate morsels (use the appropriate type for your chosen fudge), vanilla extract, and nuts (if desired).
  7. Stir vigorously for 1 minute, or until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  8. Pour the fudge into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm.
  10. Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang. Remove the foil.
  11. Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious homemade fudge!
