Preparation

Step 1

Note: Please, PLEASE measure all your ingredients out before you begin. Everything moves very quickly at the end of the recipe and you need to be able to dump things into your pan quickly.

Directions:

Line an 8 in. square pan with foil, leaving the foil to extend over the pans edges. Butter the foil, and set the pan aside.

In a 2-quart saucepan, combine sugar and evaporated milk. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until sugar mixture boils. Reduce heat to medium, continue cooking for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

Immediately stir in peanut butter or nutella, chocolate pieces, and marshmallow creme. Stir until the chocolate melts and ingredients are well combined. (Stirring will become difficult, hang in there!) Quickly spread fudge evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with nuts, if desired.

Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours, or until firm. When firm, remove fudge from pan, using the overlapping foil to lift fudge. Place on a cutting board, cut fudge into squares. Store, covered, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
