How To Make Paula Deen’s 5-Minute Fudge:

1. Step 1: Preparing for the Stage (Mise en place) Before you begin, gather all your ingredients and a saucepan. Line a pan with parchment paper for easy removal later.
2. Step 2: The Sweet Symphony Begins Combine the granulated sugar, evaporated milk, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm.
3. Step 3: The Chocolate Joins the Dance As the sugar mixture heats, gracefully introduce the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir gently until the chocolate melts completely, transforming the mixture into a rich and decadent concoction.
4. Step 4: The Marshmallow Waltz Add the large marshmallows to the pot, allowing them to gently dissolve into the chocolatey embrace. Continue stirring as the marshmallows melt, adding a light and fluffy texture to the fudge.
5. Step 5: The Pecan Finale Gently fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge. The pecans add a delightful crunch.
6. Step 6: The Curtain Falls (Cooling and Setting) Pour the finished fudge mixture into the pan lined with parchment paper. Let the fudge cool at room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This allows the fudge to set into a firm and delectable masterpiece. Slice and enjoy!
