🍫 5 Minute Chocolate Pecan Fudge 🌟

Quick, rich, and nutty—this fudge comes together in minutes and sets into perfect bite-sized squares!

Ingredients (Yields ~24 squares)

• 1⅔ cups (335 g) granulated sugar
• ⅔ cup (160 mL) evaporated milk
• 1 tbsp (14 g) unsalted butter
• ½ tsp fine sea salt
• 6 oz milk chocolate chips
• 16 large marshmallows
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup (115 g) toasted pecans or walnuts, coarsely chopped

Instructions

1. Build Base: In saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Stir over medium heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves (~2–3 min).
2. Boil: Once bubbling, boil gently for exactly 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Mixture will thicken and look glossy.
3. Melt Chocolate: Remove from heat. Add chocolate chips and stir until smooth (30–45 sec).
4. Finish Blend: Add marshmallows, vanilla, and optional peanut butter. Stir 45–60 sec until marshmallows mostly melt and mixture thickens.
5. Fold Nuts: Stir in pecans or walnuts until just distributed.
6. Set & Slice: Pour into parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan. Smooth top. Cool 30 min at room temp, then refrigerate 15–20 min until firm. Lift out and cut into 1-inch squares.
