Vanilla Bean Fudge

By [e-mail]

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 tablespoons
• 1/3 cup evaporated milk
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 cup marshmallow fluff (roughly half of a 7 ounce jar)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 vanilla bean, cut lengthwise and seeds scraped*

Preparation

Step 1

Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.

In a large heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and milk. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring until everything is smooth. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring often (do not cut this time short or the fudge may not firm up when cool).

Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips, marshmallow fluff, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean seeds until melted and smooth (it will be really thick - use your muscles). Spread into the pan**. Let cool until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight before cutting.
