Nestle Very Best Fudge image

This is a bigger recipe than my Mother In Law Fudge posting. The ingredient amounts are different and it is a very delicious candy. I made this the other day so it would ripen nicely in the fridge for a movie party and it was creamy, cut beautifully, and enjoyed immensely. The recipe makes close to four pounds and it is pot-licking wonderful!

Time 45m

Yield 4 pounds, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups granulated sugar
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1/4 cup butter (I used unsalted)
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups mini marshmallows
2 (12 ounce) packages nestle's semisweet chocolate morsels (I use what I have on hand)
1 cup chopped pecans (I use 1 1/4 cups and DH says I need to use more) or 1 cup walnuts (I use 1 1/4 cups and DH says I need to use more)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I use home-made)

Steps:

  • Line a 13 x 9 pan with foil and leave some hanging over the edge of the pan to lift it easily.
  • Combine the sugar, milk, butter and salt in a 4 - 5 cup heavy saucepan and cook over medium heat stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and keep stirring and boil for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add marshmallows, nuts, morsels, vanilla. Stir vigorously for 1 minute or until the marshmallows are totally melted.
  • Pour into the prepared pan and refrigerate for two hours. Cut the fudge into tiny squares and refrigerate tightly covered.
  • ***I take my fudge out of the fridge when it fully sets and wrap it into 1/4 pound portions with plastic wrap and store in a container with a tight lid, in the fridge. I also let it ripen before serving as it develops a wonderful taste and texture after a couple of days. It keeps for a couple of weeks tightly wrapped.
