NEVER FAIL FUDGE

For my friend John

Never Fail Fudge

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups sugar

1/4 lb. butter or margarine ( NOT SPREAD ),
                                              use butter, it tastes so much better.

1 ~ 12-oz can evaporated milk

1 ~ 12-oz package semi-sweet chocolate chip

                      (Don't be cheap, get the good stuff, I use Ghirardelli, dark chocolate)

1 ~ 7-oz jar of marshmallow creme

1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Making the Fudge;

Melt butter in heavy 2 quart saucepan, (use a big pan),

                                                      I use an old pressure cooker pan. Works great.

Stir in milk and sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.

Continue boiling over a medium heat until mixture reaches 234* or soft ball stage, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

                                         ( Use a candy thermometer, or the cold water method. )

Remove from heat and stir in chocolate pieces until melted.

Add marshmallow creme and nuts, stirring until well blended.

Pour into greased 13 x 9 inch pan. (I butter my pan)

Cool at room temperature; cut into squares.

Makes about 3 lbs.
