How to Make Fantasy Fudge

  1. Line a 9x9 inch square baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, and 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Continue boiling for exactly 4 minutes, or until a candy thermometer registers 234°F (112°C), stirring constantly to prevent scorching and sticking.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  5. Add 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme.
  6. Stir until the chocolate and marshmallow creme are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Immediately pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Let the fudge stand at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or until completely cooled and set.
  10. Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into 1-inch squares.
  11. Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  12. Package up a few squares for delightful gifts!
