You’ll Need:
12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
12 oz. German’s sweet chocolate, broken into small pieces
2 cups marshmallow cream
4 ½ cups sugar (yes, you read that right!)
Pinch of salt (a dash of balance)
2 Tbsp. butter (because everything’s better with butter)
Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish, or hit it with some nonstick spray. This is crucial to avoid fudge disasters later.
2. Mix the Chocolate Base
In a big ol' mixing bowl, toss in the semisweet chocolate chips, German’s chocolate, and marshmallow cream. This is where the magic starts.
3. Cook Up Some Sweetness
In a saucepan, combine the sugar, salt, butter, and evaporated milk. Bring this concoction to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir like your life depends on it, then lower the heat and simmer for 7 minutes while stirring constantly. You’ll feel like a fudge wizard by now.
4. Combine and Conquer
Carefully pour the hot sugar mixture over your bowl of chocolate and marshmallow goodness. Stir until everything melts into smooth, chocolatey perfection. If you're going for the nutty version, toss in those chopped nuts and mix well.
5. Let It Set
Pour your fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Now comes the hardest part: waiting. Leave it at room temperature to set, preferably overnight. Resist the temptation to poke at it!
6. Slice and Serve
Once firm, slice the fudge into small squares (because this stuff is rich). Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks—or in the fridge if you prefer a firmer bite.
