Chocolate Fudge

• Serves 32+ pieces
• Brette’s Mom-Mom’s recipe (Alice “Ann” Pennington, née Price)
• This was a treat only made at Christmas.
• Note: Brette made this fudge with chocolate morsels that did not contain an emulsifier and the fudge was very crumbly.

Ingredients

• 3 cups sugar
• 1½ sticks unsalted butter
• ⅔ cup evaporated milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 7 oz marshmallow cream
• 2 Tbsp Hershey’s cocoa
• 1 cup chopped nuts, optional

Directions

1. Heat sugar, butter, and evaporated milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and chocolate chips. Mix well before adding marshmallow cream, nuts, and cocoa.
3. Whip by hand until it becomes stiff. Spread in a buttered 9x13" pan. Cool to set.
