• Preparation Time: 5 minutes + setting time
• Servings: 16 pieces

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk
• 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pan:
   Grease an 8-inch square pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
2. Combine Ingredients:
   In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Place over medium heat.
3. Cook the Mixture:
   Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly to prevent burning. Continue to cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Add Final Ingredients:
   Remove the pan from heat. Immediately stir in the mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and chopped nuts if using. Stir vigorously for about a minute or until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is uniform.
5. Set the Fudge:
   Pour the fudge into the prepared pan. Spread it out evenly with a spatula. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature until it sets. This usually takes about 1 to 2 hours.
6. Cut and Serve:
   Once set, cut the fudge into small squares. If desired, you can refrigerate the fudge to firm it up more before cutting.
