Let the mixture boil for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Use a candy thermometer to ensure the temperature reaches about 234°F (112°C) for perfect consistency.
Step 4: Mix in Chocolate and Marshmallow Creme
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Quickly stir in the marshmallow creme and chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and nuts (if using) and stir to combine.
Step 5: Pour and Set
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Let it cool at room temperature for at least 3–4 hours, or until fully set.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment or foil overhang.
Slice into small squares and serve.
