Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup (5 fl.-oz. can) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows
• 1 1/2 cups (9 oz.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Pan:
   Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with foil. This will make it easy to lift the fudge out of the pan once it’s set.
2. Combine the Base Ingredients:
   In a medium, heavy-duty saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Stir the mixture constantly as you bring it to a full rolling boil over medium heat.
3. Boil:
   Once the mixture reaches a boil, continue stirring constantly for about 4 to 5 minutes. This helps ensure that the fudge has the right consistency when it sets.
4. Add the Sweet Ingredients:
   Stir in the marshmallows, chocolate morsels, nuts (if using), and vanilla extract. Keep stirring vigorously for about 1 minute or until the marshmallows have completely melted, creating a smooth, creamy mixture.
5. Chill and Set:
   Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the fudge has firmed up.
6. Cut and Serve:
   Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the foil. Remove the foil and cut the fudge into 48 pieces. Enjoy!

Optional Variation – Milk Chocolate Fudge

• For a different twist, you can use 1 3/4 cups (11.5-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Milk Chocolate Morsels instead of the semi-sweet morsels for a milk chocolate version of the fudge.
