How to Make Kay's Easy Fudge

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling for exactly 5 minutes without stopping stirring.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Stir in 1 cup mini marshmallows, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into an 8x8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper (this makes removing the fudge easier).
  6. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares. For faster cooling, you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes.
