Ingredients
- 3/4 Cup Butter (1.5 sticks)
- 3 Cups Sugar
- 2/3 Cup Evaporated Milk
- 1 12-oz package Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips the mini chips melt faster and are easier to mix in so I prefer those when available
- 1 7-oz jar Marshmallow Fluff
- 1 Cup Chopped Walnuts
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions
- Combine butter, sugar, and evaporated milk in a heavy saucepan and bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. It is important to keep stirring or the sugar will burn/caramelize on the bottom of the pot.
- Once the mixture boils continue boiling for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted.
- Add the vanilla and fluff and stir to combine. Once the fluff is almost fully incorporated add the nuts and mix until well combined.
- Pour into an un-greased 13X9 baking pan and let cool at room temperature for at least a couple hours, preferably over night.
- Cut into small (1in x 1in at the largest) squares and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Typically for Christmas gifts at school/work I will go to the dollar tree and buy a couple (depending how many gifts I need) 4 packs of small plastic food containers to fill with fudge. Just put a now on top to dress it up and they look great!
A double batch was enough for my husband to take for all of his coworkers and for me to take to everyone at school, with enough left for us to sample a few times;)
