How to Make Sherry's Key Lime Fudge

  1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Grease the foil lightly with butter.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup of milk, 2 cups of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  3. Once boiling, continue to cook for exactly 8 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add 1 (10 ounce) bag of marshmallows, 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon of key lime zest, and 1/4 cup of key lime juice. Stir vigorously until the marshmallows and chocolate are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set and firm.
  7. Lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into 1-inch squares and serve.
