Kitchen Equipment Needed:

• Heavy saucepan
• Wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula
• 8-inch square baking pan
• Aluminum foil or parchment paper
• Knife for cutting the fudge

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Baking Pan:
   • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving some overhang to lift the fudge out later. Lightly grease the foil or paper.
2. Combine the Ingredients:
   • In a heavy saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, evaporated milk, unsalted butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
3. Boil the Mixture:
   • Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 4-5 minutes. The mixture should thicken slightly.
4. Add Marshmallows and Chocolate Chips:
   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the mini marshmallows, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until the marshmallows and chocolate are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. Add Nuts (Optional):
   • If using, fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
6. Pour into Pan:
   • Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
7. Cool and Set:
   • Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours or until completely set. For quicker setting, you can refrigerate the fudge for about 1 hour.
8. Cut and Serve:
   • Once set, use the overhanging foil or parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into small squares using a sharp knife.

Enjoy this TOLL HOUSE® Famous Fudge as a delightful treat that melts in your mouth with every bite. Its rich and creamy texture makes it an irresistible addition to any dessert table!
