How to Make Perfect Fudge

  1. Grease and flour two 8x12 inch baking pans.
  2. In a large 4-quart saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Boil for exactly 5 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup milk chocolate chips, 1 cup marshmallow creme, 1 cup chopped pecans, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the ingredients are well combined. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
  7. Pour the fudge into the prepared pans and spread evenly. Let cool completely at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or until firm enough to cut. Refrigerate for an hour for easier cutting.
