OLD FASHIONED CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW FUDGE

Old Fashioned Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge image

This a traditional fudge using both granulated and brown sugars. The addition of the marshmallow makes it oh so creamy. My mom made this every Christmas and we kids couldn't wait to get our hands on it! Now I never fail to make it myself! We always use walnuts in the recipe but pecans would work too!
