- 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules

Directions:
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Heat the Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and evaporated milk. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
