This easy and quick fudge recipe is a keeper for holiday season, if not all year around. Perfect little treat for the guests or a delectable holiday gift for friends, family and co-workers!
Ingredients
1 stick unsaled butter (8 tablespoons), room temperature
12 oz. package semi sweet chocolate chips ( I used Ghirardelli)
1½ cups of sugar
⅔ cup evaporated milk
12- 15 large, fresh marshmallows
¾ cups pecans, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt
Method
In a large mixing bowl mix butter and semi sweet chocolate chips. Set aside.
In a large pan stir together sugar, salt and evaporated milk untill mixed troughly.
Add fresh marshmallows and stir to mix.
Cook over medium heat, and stir constantly. Using a rubber/silicon spatula for stirring helps well to clean the sides of the pan as you go. Once the mixture has melted, continue to cook and stir a little more until all the sugar has melted. (make sure it doesnt change in color)
Pour this hot mixture over the mixing bowl of butter and chocolate and stir untill they have melted well.
Now add chopped pecans and vanilla and again stir vigorously untill it is mixed completely.
Spray a baking dish/pan (I used 8" x 8" pan) with cooking spray, line it with parchment paper or plastic wrap so that you could lift it off the pan easily late. Pour in cooked mixture.
Cover and refrigerate until set and ready to cut into pieces.
My Notes
Can be made with other choice of nuts as well or no nuts as well for the nut-free version.
