Paula Deen’s 5-Minute Fudge

Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 (6-oz) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

1. Combine base ingredients:
   In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt.
2. Boil:
   Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn.
3. Add chocolate:
   Remove from heat and immediately stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
4. Finish the fudge:
   Stir in mini marshmallows, vanilla, and pecans (if using) until fully combined.
5. Set:
   Pour the fudge into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan. Let cool at room temperature until firm, about 1–2 hours.
6. Serve:
   Cut into squares and enjoy!

💡 Tips:

• Stir constantly during boiling to prevent scorching.
• Use evaporated milk, not regular milk, to ensure proper texture.
• For a nut-free version, simply skip the pecans.
• If fudge is too soft after cooling, chill in the fridge before cutting.

If you want, I can also give a super-fast microwave version that takes under 10 minutes total.

Do you want me to write that version too?
