Paula Deen’s 5-Minute Fudge Recipe
Ingredients:
1 and ⅔ cups sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (6-ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
16 large marshmallows
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans (optional but recommended)
Instructions:
In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
Boil for 5 minutes, continuing to stir to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Quickly stir in the chocolate chips, marshmallows, vanilla, and pecans (if using). Stir until the marshmallows and chocolate are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the mixture into a buttered 8×8-inch pan. Let it cool at room temperature until set, or place in the refrigerator for quicker results.
