For best results, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the fudge from burning. Be sure to stir the fudge constantly while it's boiling to prevent crystallization. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it's ready. Feel free to experiment with different candy bars! Peanut butter cups, almond bars, or even caramel-filled chocolates would be delicious. Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
10 mins
Chill the candy bars in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm them up. This makes them easier to slice.
02
Step
2 mins
Prepare a 9-inch square baking dish by lining it with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides. Grease the foil generously with butter.
03
Step
5 mins
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, cubed butter, and evaporated milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
04
Step
3 mins
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring continuously to prevent scorching. Insert a candy thermometer and cook until it reaches 234°F (110°C), about 3-5 minutes.
05
Step
2 mins
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately add the chocolate chips and stir until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
06
Step
2 mins
Stir in the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the fudge is uniform in color and texture.
07
Step
2 mins
Quickly spread half of the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.
08
Step
5 mins
Arrange the sliced candy bars evenly over the fudge layer, pressing them gently into the surface.
09
Step
2 mins
Pour the remaining fudge mixture over the candy bars, spreading it to cover them completely.
10
Step
3 hrs
Let the fudge cool to room temperature, about 2-3 hours, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares.
