How to Make Irish Cream Fudge

  1. Line a 10x15 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting later. Lightly grease the foil with butter or margarine.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 (12-ounce) packages milk chocolate chips, 1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips, 2 (16-ounce) jars marshmallow cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur. Stir until well combined. Add 1 cup chopped nuts (optional). Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, and 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter.
  4. Over medium heat, bring the sugar mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Continue to cook slowly for 10 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat. Carefully pour the hot milk mixture into the large bowl with the chocolate mixture.
  6. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir the mixture until completely smooth and combined. **Do not use a mixer.**
  7. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set. Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang and cut into squares.
