Set aside. Lightly butter or spray the bottom of an 8 x 8 pan. Set aside.<\/p>\n<p>In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, salt, milk and butter. Bring to a boil. The contents will DOUBLE IN SIZE when it&#8217;s at a &#8220;boil&#8221;, so be prepared that your pan is large enough to handle it. Start your timer from there.<\/p>\n<p>Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add vanilla and mix well.<\/p>\n<p>Pour boiled mixture on top of chocolate and marshmallows. Mix really well for 3-5 minutes or however long it takes for the &#8220;glossy&#8221; look to fade from the chocolate. (It&#8217;ll look shiny at first, but the more you stir [or mix on low to medium speed], the more it&#8217;ll take on a faded look.)<\/p>\n<p>Scoop contents into 8&#215;8 dish. Spread evenly across the pan and pat down to make it as even as possible. Chill for 3-4 hours before cutting.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;ve been trying to avoid corn syrup anything the last 10 years of my life. It&#8217;s been that long or more since I last made fudge.<\/p>\n<p>This is my first attempt at fudge without marshmallow creme. Unfortunately, I thought it would make enough to put at least an inch on the bottom of my 9 x 13 lasagna dish &#8211; not so much; it maybe sticks up half an inch off the bottom of my glass pan.<\/p>\n<p>This is definitely the sort of soft fudge you&#8217;d want in the middle layer of a decadent cake or inside truffles &#8211; but not chop up and hand out at Christmas. It is, also, perfect for making <a href=\"http:\/\/recipes.cuppylicious.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/fudge02.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">chocolate fondue<\/a>.
