Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 c sugar
1 can evaporated milk -- (12 oz.)
1/4 lb butter or margarine
12 oz marshmallow fluff
1 tsp salt
2 pkg semisweet chocolate pieces -- (12 oz. ea.)
1 tsp vanilla
1 c chopped nuts - walnuts or pecans -- (optional)

Combine first five ingredients in a 4-quart sauce pan. Stir over low heat unti
l
blended.

Bring to boil over moderate heat, being careful not to mistake escaping air
bubbles for boiling. Then boil slowly, stirring constantily for 5 minutes (to
soft ball stage).

Remove from heat, stir in chocolate and vanilla (and nuts, if used) until
chocolate is melted. Pour into 2 buttered 9x9 inch pans and cool.

Yield: approximately 5 pounds.

BILL'S NOTES: This is the recipe as given; however, I have made this recipe man
y
times, and it ALWAYS takes some 15 to 20 minutes to reach soft ball stage. A
candy thermometer is essential to get it to set correctly.

My own innovation: Substitute 2 pkgs peanut butter chips for the chocolate and
1
cup chopped peanuts for other nuts for the best peanutbutter fudge around. If
you use salted peanuts, omit the 1 tsp salt.
