An old-fashioned, melt-in-your-mouth, homemade chocolate fudge recipe. I'm told it compares amazingly to See's fudge recipe and that it should be in every kitchen, at every party, picnic, barbecue, company function and family gathering. That's what they tell me!

Chocolate Fudge
4 cups sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 large package (24 ounces) chocolate chips
1 pint jar marshmallow cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts
How to make fudge:
Combine the sugar, evaporated milk, and butter in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil and cook to soft ball stage, 234° to 240°, stirring constantly. (At soft ball stage a drop of the mixture will not harden when when dropped in cold water and forms a soft ball when rolled between your fingers that does not harden.)
Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips, marshmallow cream and vanilla. Fold in the nuts.
Pour into a shallow, buttered dish. Cool and cut into squares.
Tip: A plate of fudge, with the recipe, makes a welcome gift.
