Melissa's comments: "I made this fudge for the first time at Christmas and it turned out so good. Easy pure fudge. Lot's of people at JD's work said it was the best creamiest fudge they had had."

Ingredients 

• 2 and 1/2 cups white granulated sugar 
• 3/4 cup butter 
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk 
• 12 ounce package (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips 
• 7 ounce jar marshmallow cream (also called marshmallow fluff) 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla 

Instructions

Line an 8 or 9 inch square pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.

In a 3 quart HEAVY saucepan over high heat, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Use a wooden spoon to stir slowly until butter melts, scraping sides of pan to get all the sugar crystals. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly with a long wooden spoon. Once it starts boiling, set a timer for 5 minutes and turn the heat down to medium so that you don't burn your fingers off--it should be boiling the full 5 minutes. Stir constantly.

When the timer goes off, remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Stir until all chips are melted and mixture is smooth.

Add marshmallow creme and beat with a wooden spoon until well blended. Add vanilla and mix well.

Immediately pour into the prepared pan. Let cool to room temperature. Slice and serve! Store on the counter covered.

Recipe Notes This recipe is easy to double, just use a 9x13 pan. Microwave your marshmallow creme for 10 seconds to make it easier to scrape out. (Be sure to remove all traces of foil from the safety seal.)
