Candy & Sweets

Ingredients

• 1⅔ cups granulated sugar
• ⅔ cup evaporated milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 (6-ounce) package milk chocolate chips
• 16 large marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions

Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the chocolate chips, marshmallows, and vanilla until completely smooth and melted. Fold in the chopped nuts, then pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate for about 2 hours until firm. Slice into squares and serve.
