It's Christmas! Let's eat fudge. This is really good fudge. I make this once a year. I bring it to work as a gift to my co-workers. It has 6 cups of sugar and 3 sticks of butter. What's not to like? I do not have a candy thermometer nor do I want to figure out what soft ball stage means. My second to the youngest sister told me that once it starts boiling, boil the crap out of it for exactly 10 minutes (no more, no less, set a timer stupid, don't leave the scene because you must stir) and it will be perfect. Once step #2 has been completed (and don't take too long accomplishing #2), pour it into the pan ASAP. This stuff sets up fast!!! If you don't line the pan with tin foil, you will regret it. You can lift it right out and peel the foil off and cut it on a cutting board. NOTE: I don't use nuts because I make this for a gift. Use nuts if you love them! I think pecans would be awesome, although 2 cups seems excessive to me.
6 c. sugar
1 1/3 c. evaporated milk
1 1/2 c. butter
2 (12 oz.) bags of semi-sweet chocolate chips
lg. jar marshmallow cream
2 c. nuts, optional
2 tsp. vanilla
1. Boil sugar, evaporated milk, and butter stirring constantly, until soft ball stage; remove from heat.
2. Add chocolate chips, nuts, marshmallow cream and vanilla. Stir until well blended.
3. Pour into a 9x13 pan that has been lined with tin foil and buttered.
