Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 60 servings

Ingredients

  • 20 ounces Hershey's milk chocolate bars broken into pieces
  • 12 ounce semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup salted butter 2 sticks, cut into pieces
  • 4 cups sugar
  • 12 ounce evaporated milk 1 12-ounce can
  • 2.5 cups mini marshmallows to be cooked in the sugar mixture
  • 4 cups frozen mini marshmallows keep frozen until added
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups walnuts or pecans chopped

Instructions

  • Put 4 cups of mini marshmallows into the freezer until they are frozen solid; set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the broken Hershey's milk chocolate pieces, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and the butter pieces; set aside.
  • In a large saucepan combine the sugar, evaporated milk, and 2 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows (the amount listed to cook); stir to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; once it reaches a light boil, continue to cook and stir for 7 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from heat and immediately pour the hot sugar mixture over the chocolate and butter in the large bowl.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted and the mixture loses its shine; it may look separated—keep stirring until it smooths as it cools.
  • Stir in the vanilla, then fold in the frozen 4 cups of mini marshmallows and the chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • Spread the fudge evenly into a buttered cookie sheet or into two buttered 9x13 baking dishes for a full batch.
  • Cool completely at room temperature or chill to speed up setting, then cut into pieces and serve.
