The best fudge ever! The Recipe.

I must start by saying I don't particularly care for most homemade fudge I've tried, but this is the recipe I grew up with so I'm partial to it. So, since it's not a secret... Here's the recipe. It's worth the time and effort! You definitely should freeze part or give some away as it makes a lot. Do enjoy! P.S. don't scrimp on the mixing. It's what makes it so smooth and creamy good!
The best fudge ever! (Mom’s recipe)
1 cube butter
4 cups sugar
1 can evaporated milk

Mix together butter sugar and evaporated milk in large pot on stove, and bring to a boil stirring frequently. Boil for ten minutes.
Remove from heat and add the following:

16 oz. of Hershey’s milk chocolate bars
12 oz. package milk chocolate chips (I like Ghirardelli)

Stir in chocolate until melted.

Transfer to kitchen aid or mix with hand mixer about medium speed for 5 minutes.

Add 1 jar of marshmallow cream. (7 oz.)

Mix for another 5 minutes.

Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla and mix that in.

You can add chopped walnuts, or chopped pecans if desired.

Pour into a buttered glass 9x13 baking dish. Cover pan and put it in the refrigerator to set up.  Serve! You can cut the fudge into thirds and wrap in plastic wrap then foil and freeze for up to six months. Mom likes to cut it into squares and wrap them in plastic wrap to use for goodie plates and parties. YUM!!!

I'm going to have to try this! I'm funny about fudge recipes too and I can never find one that's exactly right. Who says fudge is only for Christmastime anyway?
