5 Minute Fudge

Ingredients : 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 2/3 cup (5 fluid ounces) Carnation Evaporated Milk 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups miniature marshmallows 1 1/2 cups (9 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels (chips) 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with either aluminum foil or waxed paper. In a large saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Over medium heat, bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Let boil, stirring constantly, for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in marshmallows, chocolate morsels, nuts, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously for approximately 1 minutes or until marshmallows are completely melted. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Storage - How To Store Fudge: Room Temperature: Fudge stored at room temperature in an air-tight container will last 7 to 14 days. Fudge should be stored in an air-tight container (tin or plastic), each layer separated by a sheet of waxed paper. Fudge stored in an air-tight container at room temperature will "ripen" over the first 24 hours. Refrigerator: Fudge stored in the refrigerator can last 2 to 3 weeks when kept in an air-tight container.
