Decadent Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge

This fudge recipe is different from the way I normally make fudge (sweetened condensed milk and chocolate morsels.) I was intrigued by the addition of marshmallows and wanted to try the recipe. Since yesterday was our 14th wedding anniversary, so I thought this fudge would be the perfect sweet treat. (My poor hubby has poision oak/ivy on his face so we cancelled the baby sitter and stayed in. He was working in the yard and must have been wiping the sweat from his face and smeared the poison oils all over his face...)

Oh my gosh, this fudge turned out so rich and decadent, it is amazing!  I had my doubts as I was putting it together, but it turned out beautifully and I highly recommend it!

Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge Recipe

Ingredients

1 2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup fat-free evaporated milk
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
12 oz semisweet chocolate morsels
14 large marshmallows
Chopped pecans (optional)

Coarsely ground sea salt (optional)

Instructions 

Coat an 8- X 8-inch pan with cooking spray or oil.

In a medium saucepan, stir together sugar, evaporated milk and butter.  Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes.

Stir in chocolate and marshmallows; remove pan from heat and stir until smooth. (I found I actually needed to return the pan to the lowest heat setting to get the marshmallows to melt.  I definitely got an arm workout stirring...)

Pour mixture into prepared pan, top with a handful of chopped pecan and a bit of coarsely ground sea salt if you wish and refrigerate until firm. (about 2 hours.)  Cut into thirty-six squares and serve.

Store fudge in refrigerator.

Now, here is the kicker...  I found this recipe on the front page of the Weight Watcher website and it is 3 points per piece!
