Paula Deen’s 5-Minute Fudge: A Quick and Easy Chocolate Treat

  1. Combine and cook initial ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the white sugar, evaporated milk, unsalted butter, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and ensure the sugar dissolves. The mixture will become smooth and slightly thickened.
  2. Melt chocolate and add marshmallows: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately add the milk chocolate chips and stir continuously until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and chocolatey. Then, add the large marshmallows, pure vanilla extract, and chopped nuts to the chocolate mixture. Stir well until the marshmallows are mostly melted and incorporated, and the nuts are evenly distributed throughout the fudge.
