My Mama's Fudge

(This fudge has peppermint Andes chopped with almond bark drizzled on top) YUM-O!!

This is my Mama's recipe for fudge, however to give me some glory I added the topping..hee hee! They were so fabulous! So fabulous that I made it for a Christmas party and for my class at church (Mia Maids) that I got so many requests for the recipe, that I had to post it.

Warning-Hard to only eat 1 piece. I probably ate half of my batch. Hello extra pounds to my rear end!

My Mama’s fudge

Ingredients:
1 can evaporated milk
4 ½ cups sugar
1 cup of butter
1 Tablespoons of vanilla extract
3 cups chocolate chips – I like half semi and milk chocolate
1 pkg of mini marshmallows

Directions:
Put chocolate chips and marshmallows in a LARGE bowl – the bigger the better. We are going to be stirring everything in this bowl! Put aside.
Butter a 9x13 dish. (I add buttered foil to my dish – no clean up and I can pull it out when I am done to cut it nicely.)
In a heavy pot add evaporated milk, sugar, and butter. On medium high heat bring to a rolling boil for 6 minutes (do not leave –or put on high heat) Stir continuously for the whole 6 minutes. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract-stir. Immediately add to the chocolate marshmallows mixture. Stir really well, it needs to be smooth! Pour into a buttered 9x13 dish. ***Put in fridge for at least 8 hours before cutting into it. Needs to be refrigerated.

***Can add toppings- chopped nuts, chopped heath bars, chopped Andes mints, anything your heart desires. Push into fudge softly. Melt almond bark (1 ½ squares) to spread with fork to decorate the top.

-Makes 5 lbs. without toppings!
