Kittencal's Easy Never-Fail 5-Minute Chocolate Fudge

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

You will be surprised at how easy and delicious this fudge is and it sets to the perfect texture! --- if you prefer a less sweeter taste then remove 2 tablespoons of white sugar after measuring the 1-2/3 cups --- evaporated milk may be replaced for the cream, using good-quality chocolate chips for this will only improve the flavor--- for easy removal from the pan, line pan with a large piece of foil overlapping on both sides, to remove the fudge lift up foil, remove foil from bottom of the fudge then place the block of fudge onto a flat surface and slice into small squares, or you may slice the fudge in the pan --- you will love this fudge!

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 36

• 1 2/3 cups sugar (remove 2 tablespoons for a less-sweeter fudge)
• 2/3 cup 18% table cream or 2/3 cup half-and-half cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional) or 3/4 cup pecans (optional)

Directions:

1. Butter an 8-inch square pan (or line with foil overlapping on the ends to remove the complete block of fudge).
2. In a saucepan combine the sugar, cream, butter and salt; bring to a boil (careful the mixture does not run over the pot).
3. Reduce heat to medium-low or low and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring a few times during cooking (start timing after the mixture is at a full boil).
4. Remove from heat and add in marshmallows, chocolate chips and vanilla; beat vigorously with a wooden spoon or a whisk until the marshmallows and chocolate are completely melted and combined (this should take about 1 minute or less).
5. Mix in nuts if using.
6. Pour the mixture into prepared pan.
7. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate.
8. Cut into small squares.
