Paula Deen’s 5-Minute Fudge
This quick and easy recipe delivers rich, creamy fudge in no time. With just a few ingredients and a single saucepan, you’ll have a chocolatey, nutty treat that’s perfect for parties, gifts, or an indulgent snack.
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Granulated sugar | 1 ½ cups |
| Evaporated milk | ¾ cup |
| Butter | 1 tablespoon |
| Semi-sweet chocolate chips | 6 ounces |
| Large marshmallows | 16 |
| Chopped pecans | 1 cup |
Instructions:
Step 1: Set the Stage
Before you begin, gather your ingredients and line a square pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal later.
Step 2: Warm the Base
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, and butter. Stir continuously until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth and warm.
Step 3: Add the Chocolate
Stir in the chocolate chips, mixing until fully melted and incorporated into a smooth, velvety base.
Step 4: Melt the Marshmallows
Drop in the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. They’ll give the fudge its signature creamy, fluffy consistency.
Step 5: Fold in the Pecans
Mix in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the mixture for added crunch and flavor.
Step 6: Pour and Set
Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Allow it to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy!
