Easy No Fail Chocolate Fudge - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
2 2/3 cups white sugar
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 24 ounces of chocolate cut up) or 4 cups milk chocolate chips (or 24 ounces of chocolate cut up)
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional) or 2 cups pecans (optional)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preparation

Butter a 13x9 inch pan, set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine marshmallow cream, sugar, evaporated milk, butter and salt.
Bring to a full boil, and cook for exactly 5 minutes (don't guess - use a timer!), stirring constantly. The mixture will go from white to very light tan. Be careful as it tends to splatter.
Remove pan from heat and add chocolate chips and vanilla.
Stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
Stir in nuts if using.
Pour and spread into prepared pan.
Let stand at room temperature until firm.
Cut into squares.
