CLASSIC CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• Butter a 9x9 dish and set it aside.
• Combine sugar and evaporated milk in a medium-sized saucepan.
• Before turning burner on, prep other ingredients and put them by the stove for easy access to add once the sugar mixture is finished boiling.
• Turn burner on to medium-high. Bring evaporated milk and sugar to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Once at a full boil, set timer for 5 minutes, turn heat down slightly but keep it at a full boil, stirring constantly. Make sure to stir all the way to the bottom of the pan.
• After five minutes, remove from heat. Quickly add the remaining ingredients--butter, chocolate chips, marshmallows, vanilla, and nuts, if desired. Stir briskly until everything is blended together.
• Pour into prepared 9x9 pan. Don't scrape the grainy-looking top edges of the fudge into the pan. Scrape that little bit out onto a separate plate, or just leave it in the pan.
• If only putting nuts in half of the fudge, sprinkle them onto half of the fudge. Then, gently use your finger or a butter knife to press the nuts down into the fudge.
• Let fudge cool completely before cutting and serving. You can let it cool for a few hours on the counter. To speed up cooling time, put it in the fridge.
• Fudge will stay good for up to 2-3 weeks kept in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the fridge.

If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball with your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.
