Fantasy Fudge

I love fudge. Any type of fudge (with no nuts).

So I decided to make some today. Here is the recipe that I use. My Mom makes this recipe for Christmas every year and sends me home with some.

The recipe for this can be found at www.kraftfoods.com here.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Makes 3 lbs. or 40 squares





3 cups sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2 package (12 squares) bakers semi-sweet baking chocolate, chopped
1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow cream
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla

LINE a 9 inch square pan with foil, set aside.

PLACE sugar, butter and evaporated milk in a medium heavy saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 4 minutes or until candy thermometer reaches 234 degrees, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.

ADD chocolate and marshmallow cream. Stir until completely melted. Add walnuts and vanilla, mix well.

POUR immediately into a prepared pan and spread to form an even layer. Let stand at room temperature for 4 hours or until completely cooled. You can also put it in the refrigerator.

TO serve, cut into 1 inch squares.
