How to Make Never Fail Fudge

  1. Grease and flour one 13x9-inch baking pan or two 9x9-inch baking pans.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed 6-quart saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 (11-ounce) jar marshmallow creme, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  4. Continue boiling for exactly 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  5. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional), and 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan(s) and spread evenly.
  7. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares. Refrigerating will speed up the cooling process.
  8. Enjoy your homemade Never Fail Fudge!
