Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • About 16 pecan halves (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine evaporated milk, sugar, and salt. Stir until it reaches a rolling boil.
  3. Boil for 4–5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in marshmallows, chocolate chips, and vanilla until smooth and melted.
  5. Fold in chopped pecans evenly.
  6. Pour mixture into prepared pan and smooth the top. Press pecan halves on top if using.
  7. Let cool at room temperature or refrigerate until fully set, about 2 hours.
  8. Lift fudge from the pan and cut into squares.

Notes

  • Swap pecans with walnuts or almonds for variety.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
  • Use dark chocolate chips for a deeper flavor.
  • Refrigeration speeds up setting time but isn’t required.
  • Wipe knife between cuts for clean edges.
