MAMA'S MILLION-DOLLAR FUDGE



Mama's Million-Dollar Fudge image

No other fudge I've tasted comes close to the smooth, chocolate taste of this recipe, which my mother-in-law introduced me to one Christmas (I've never been able to make it as good as she does, though). Since it makes such a large batch, I always save some for last-minute gifts. -Gloria Heidner, Elk River, Minnesota
