Mix sugar, butter or margarine, and evaporated milk in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. When the mixture reached a boil, cook for exactly 5 minutes continuing to stir constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted and combined. Stir in the marshmallow creme and vanilla. Optional: Fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts.
Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and use an offset spatula to flatten. Optional: Place whole pecans or walnuts on top. Let the Retro Marshmallow Creme Fantasy Fudge set for 1 hour before cutting into squares.
Store in an airtight container for up to three weeks. Separate layers with wax paper.
Notes
How To Prevent Grainy Fudge
When the fudge is hot, it is a saturated solution of unstable sugar crystals. Moving it around and agitating it will cause crystallization resulting in a grainy texture.To prevent this, gently spread the fantasy fudge in the pan and let it sit at room temperature until set for at least one hour.
