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 Pans: Grease or line two 9 x 13-inch baking pans with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Melt Butter and Mix Sugar: In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat with the evaporated milk. Once melted, add the granulated sugar and stir continuously. Keep stirring until the sugar dissolves completely; set a timer for 4 minutes to maintain the consistency and avoid burning.
- Add Chocolate and Vanilla: Lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in the gluten-free dark chocolate chips and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture, stirring constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and blended.
- Incorporate Marshmallow Fluff and Pecans: Remove the pan from heat. Quickly stir in the marshmallow fluff until it is fully incorporated, creating a smooth consistency. Then fold in the crushed pecans evenly throughout the fudge mixture. If the mixture thickens too fast, briefly return it to low heat while stirring to keep it workable.
- Pour and Cool: Pour the finished fudge into the prepared pans, smoothing the top evenly. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about one hour or until firm.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, cut the fudge into squares or triangles. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
