Fudge

Grandma’s fudge
  • 5 cups sugar
  • 1/4 lb butter
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 2 bags of semi sweet chocolate chips (24 ounces. Some chips bags are less than 12 now)
  • 1 jar marshmallow cream (two 7 oz jars or 1 large jar of 13-14 oz)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts. (Could use more)

Grease 9×13 pan and then add parchment paper (grease helps paper stick to pan). Brush parchment with melted butter. Set aside

Melt butter in large pot. Add can of milk. Add sugar slowly making sure you don’t touch the edge of the pot with the sugar. Stir slowly being careful to not let sugar touch pot edges until melted. Boil 9 minutes (I use setting 6 in my induction range) (target temp is 234-237)

Stir in chocolate chips and marshmallow cream until all melted. add nuts.

Pour into prepared 9×13 pan.

Cool. Makes 5 lbs.

Boiling. I used a thermometer to check if her 9minute time was too long. It was not. It’s a lot of sugar.
Mixing in the cream and chocolate. I left out the nuts.
Fudge with nuts sprinkled on top because I like the way it looks.
