My Mother's Best Fudge Recipe image

This fudge recipe is quite a treat! It's creamy and full of chocolate flavor. Since there is no specific type of chocolate mentioned, we went with milk chocolate chips. We also opted for pecans and loved the crunch in every bite. If you don't like nuts, leave them out. This fudge will be just as fantastic. You're not going to be...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 c sugar
1 can(s) evaporated milk, 12 oz
2 stick butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 bag(s) chocolate chips, 12 oz
1 pkg regular marshmallows, 16 oz bag
2 lb pecans or black walnuts (optional)

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.
