How to Make Paula Deen’s 5-Minute Fudge
- In a medium saucepan, add the granulated sugar, evaporated milk, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir them together gently, creating the perfect base for your fudge.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Watch closely, stirring continuously, until it reaches that delightful bubbling stage.
- Keep stirring constantly for exactly 5 minutes. This is where the magic happens! The mixture should thicken and take on a beautiful golden color as it cooks.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. The chocolate will melt, creating a creamy blend, while the marshmallows add a fun twist.
- Stir the mixture until smooth, ensuring everything is fully combined. Finally, gently mix in the vanilla extract for that extra depth of flavor.
- Carefully pour the fudge mixture into a prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Allow it to cool at room temperature until it sets, then cut into squares.
