How to Make Original Fantasy Fudge

  1. In a heavy-bottomed 2 1/2-quart saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted margarine, and 1/2 cup milk.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the pan.
  3. Continue boiling for exactly 5 minutes, stirring constantly, to prevent scorching and ensure a smooth texture.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat. Add 2 cups (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until completely melted and smooth. If using chocolate squares, chop them into smaller pieces first.
  5. Stir in 1 (11-ounce) jar of Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme, 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Beat the fudge vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture is well-blended and creamy.
  7. Pour the fudge into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  8. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature before cutting into 1-inch squares. For faster cooling, you can refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
