Easy Fudge

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp instant coffee powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 cups dark or milk chocolate
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • With a heavy duty saucepan on medium heat, add in evaporated milk, sugar, butter, salt, and instant coffee. Bring to full boil while stirring constantly. Continue stirring for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes, turn heat off. Add in marshmallows and stir vigorously to melt well. This should only be about 1-2 minutes.
  • Once majority of marshmallows have melted into the mixture, remove from heat and add in chocolate chips. Stir quickly and constantly to evenly melt and combine chocolate into mixture. Work quickly as mixture can cool once heat is removed.
  • Add in walnuts and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients have combined well.
  • Pour mixture into prepared baking pan. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm.
  • Once fudge has formed, lift with parchment paper out of pan. Cut into even square pieces.
  • For better handling, I wrap each fudge piece into a section of parchment or wax paper. This limits any stickiness/melting and is a great option for gift giving when it comes to fudge!
