Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups granulated sugar
- 15 oz Marshmallow Fluff
- 18 oz Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup crushed pecans
- 1.5 cups butter
- 1.25 cups evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the pans: Grease or line two 9 x 13 inch baking pans with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the fudge later.
- Melt butter and combine with evaporated milk: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the evaporated milk. Stir frequently to combine.
- Add sugar and cook: Gradually stir in the granulated sugar, continuing to stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely. Set a timer and cook for 4 minutes, maintaining medium heat and stirring.
- Add chocolate and vanilla: Lower the heat and stir in the gluten-free dark chocolate chips and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture. Keep stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Incorporate marshmallow fluff and nuts: Remove the mixture from heat. Stir in the marshmallow fluff until completely blended. Then fold in the crushed pecans. If the mixture thickens too quickly, you may briefly return it to low heat to maintain stirrability.
- Pour into pans and cool: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pans. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about an hour until firm enough to cut.
- Cut and serve: Once cooled and set, slice the fudge into squares or triangles and serve or package for gifting.
