Part 2 of Easy Holiday Baking
Everyone has heard of this fudge. It's one of the easiest to make and it is practically fool proof. And, who doesn't love eating fudge? I don't see anyone raising their hand in our house. Plus this is naturally gluten free unless you add breadcrumbs to it.
So let's get started with the short list of ingredients.
*Semi sweet chocolate chips
*Marshmallow Cream
*Vanilla
*Evaporated Milk
*Sugar
*Butter
**Optional item-I added pecans to our fudge
Here we go. Find a medium sized pot and place it on the stove top on medium high heat. Add the butter, sugar and evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed).
Stir occassionally until the mixture comes to a boil.
Once the mixture is boiling stir for 2 minutes. If you don't stir-it will burn. This I know for sure.
Once the mixture has boiled for 2 minutes remove from heat. Add in the chocolate chips, marshmallow cream and vanilla. If you decide to add nuts then this would be the time to add them as well.
Stir until it is entirely combined. Use your muscles. Pour into a 9 x 13 pan that has been greased with butter. Score into the size of pieces you want to serve. Doing this while the fudge is still warm helps cut it later.
And this folks is the easiest recipe you will ever see for chocolate fudge.

Cut into equal pieces.
Missy's Tips
You could also add in walnuts or almonds.
Only use semi sweet chips in this recipe. Milk chocolate will make it over the top sweet.
To freeze, transfer to an airtight container and place either wax paper or parchment paper between layers. Freeze for up to a month.
Since fudge is very sweet we often take a few pieces out of the freezer and then return the rest to the freezer.
Melted fudge is great on vanilla ice cream.
And! Sprinkles make everything better-so I added them to the top of my fudge to make it look like the holidays.
