Katie's Secret Fudge
From: Katie

This is a recipe I got from my mom and had to fix it so that I came out right & not like "soup" as my mom always made. It carries a stiff warning though:
DO NOT EAT MORE THAN 2 PIECES A DAY OR YOU WILL LIKELY BE MAKING ALOT OF TRIPS TO THE POWDER ROOM.
I have had one dear friend who did not heed my warning and learned the hard way.
8 cups Sugar
1 14-1/4 oz can of Evaporated Milk
1 can of Eagle Brand
2 cups Imperial margarine (or real butter if you want to make it fattening)
36 oz Nestle Chocolate Chips
2 pints Marshmallow Creme
2 teaspoons Vanilla
2 cups Chopped Nuts (optional)
Cook the sugar, milk " butter to the soft ball stage (236 degrees) stirring frequently.
Remove from heat, add chocolate, marshmallow creme, vanilla & nuts. Beat until chocolate is melted and blended. Pour into a buttered cookie sheet. Immediately score the candy in squares (1-1/2" x 1-1/2").
When cool, cut in squares.
I like to make this in a large T-Fal pan because it doesn't stick or burn & the clean-up is easy.
