MY MOTHER'S BEST FUDGE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Before beginning, take a large dish (at least 9 x 12 or larger) and butter it, getting it ready for the fudge to be poured into when the fudge is finished.
• 2. In a heavy pan, add the sugar, evaporated milk, and 2 sticks of butter. Start heating this over medium heat to medium-high heat.
• 3. Heat to a boil and let it boil on low heat until it comes to a soft-ball stage.
• 4. At this point, add the vanilla. Do not let it go any longer. Do not continue cooking. It is very important to take it off at this point so it doesn't overcook or get sugary.
• 5. Add the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Start stirring quickly into the hot mixture.
• 6. If you want nuts, add the nuts at this point.
• 7. Pour it into the greased pan. This will have to set for several hours before cutting because it is a very deep fudge and makes 5 pounds. PATIENCE is worth the wait.

Steps:

• Butter an 8 x 8-inch pan. Combine sugar, butter, milk, salt, and chocolate in medium saucepan. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until all ingredients melt and come to a boil. Do not scrape down the sides of the pan. Lower heat, insert candy thermometer, and let boil slowly without stirring for about 10 minutes or until soft ball forms when dropped in a cup of cold water (238 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove pan from heat and cool. Add vanilla. Beat steadily until fudge loses its gloss. Add nuts. Pour into pan. Cool for 20 minutes and cut into squares.
