Creamy chocolate fudge made with marshmallows and pecans.
Ingredients
  • ½ cup (1 stick) room temperature butter, cut into pieces
  • 12 oz package Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ⅔ cup evaporated milk
  • 12- 15 large, fresh marshmallows
  • ¾ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Grease an 11x7 Pyrex baking dish, or line it with plastic wrap (this makes it easy to remove the fudge later on). In a large mixing bowl, add butter and chocolate chips. Set aside.
  2. In a large heavy-bottom pan, stir together sugar and evaporated milk. Add marshmallows. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once the marshmallows have melted, continue to cook and stir a bit more until you're sure the sugar has melted; don't let it change color.
  3. Pour the hot mixture over the ingredients in the bowl and stir until the butter and chocolate have melted, then add the pecans and vanilla. Continue to stir vigorously until it is very well mixed. Pour into prepared baking dish, cover, and refrigerate until set and ready to cut.
