The Method

1

Step 1

Combine the sugar and evaporated milk in a pot and stir until fully dissolved.

2

Step 2

Heat slowly and bring to a slow boil, stirring constantly.

3

Step 3

Continue to stir once boiling for 8 minutes and then turn off the heat.

4

Step 4

Add the butter and chocolate, stir until melted and fully incorporated.

5

Step 5

Add the vanilla and stir.

Step 6

Pour into a lightly greased 9 x13” pan and allow to set. The fudge will end up firmer (and in my opinion better) if refrigerated.
