All American Fudge

A friend on Face Book posted a picture of Fudge that she's making for the holidays. She is the daughter of my best friend from college. We've known each other since we were 18. He named his daughter after me...... thank you Terri for reminding me that I needed to post a Fudge Recipe on my blog. Here's her recipe.

For my European friends........ we love Fudge!

All American Fudge!

Here's what you'll need:

3 C granulated Sugar

12 TBS (3/4 C) Butter, cubed

5 oz. (2/3 C) Evaporated Milk, not Sweetened Condensed Milk!

3 - 4 oz. packages of Baker's Semi Sweet Chocolate, roughly chopped.

1 tsp Vanilla 

1 C chopped Walnuts or Pecans

In a 3 quart saucepan on mediu, high heat:

Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.

Continue cooking for 4 minutes or until a candy thermometer reaches 234 degrees, stirring constantly.

Add:

Chocolate

Marshmallow Creme

Stir well until all is melted.

Add:

Vanilla and stir to combine.
