Instructions
-
Combine & cook: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together the sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid scorching.
-
Melt the chocolate: Add in the chocolate chips, continuing to stir until completely melted and smooth.
-
Finish it off: Remove the pan from heat. Quickly stir in the marshmallows, vanilla extract, and chopped nuts. Mix until everything is fully melted and incorporated.
-
Set & serve: Pour the fudge mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 8-inch square pan. Let it cool completely at room temperature. Once set, cut into squares and enjoy!

Nut-free? Skip the nuts or swap with mini pretzels, toffee bits, or crushed cookies.
