The method
Step by step
- 1
Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides to act as handles.
About 3 min

- 2
In a large heatproof bowl, combine the marshmallow creme and white chocolate chips. Add the optional walnuts now if you are using them.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Having everything ready in the bowl is key, as you'll need to work quickly once the sugar syrup is done.
- 3
In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, evaporated milk, unsalted butter, and salt.
About 2 min
- 4
Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: A rolling boil is one that doesn't stop when you stir it.
- 5
Once boiling, cook for exactly 5 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pan.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Use a timer for this step for consistent results. Do not stop stirring.

Immediately remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the hot syrup over the marshmallow mixture in the bowl.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Be very careful as the syrup is extremely hot.

About 1 min
- 10
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator.
- 11
Chill for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
About 2 hr

About 1 min
- 13
Cut the fudge into small squares to serve.
