Creamy Fudge

This recipe from my Grandma Hatfield is a family favorite. My sons have even resorted to making it on their own! We've never found a fudge recipe that compares to this one.

Makes 5 pounds

15 oz. plain milk chocolate bars or milk chocolate chips (2 1/2 cups)
1-12 oz pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
1 jar (7 1/2 oz.) marshmallow whip

If using chocolate bars, cut in small pieces into a large lightweight mixing bowl. Put all the above ingredients into the bowl.

4 1/2 cups sugar
1 large can evaporated milk
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Bring sugar, milk, salt, and vanilla to a boil in a large heavy kettle. Let boil slowly exactly 4 1/2 minutes. Stirring to prevent burning. Pour over chocolate mixture, mixing until chocolate is dissolved.

1 cup chopped pecans



Let stand until somewhat cool, add nuts. Pour into a 9” x 13” buttered pan. Finish cooling in refrigerator. Then cut in small pieces.



Popcorn used to clean the fudge bowl is yummy!
