Grandma’s Fudge

January 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment · a day in the life, family, food

This is Grandma:

And this is her fudge:

It is the best fudge you’ll ever taste. Promise. Its rich, its delicious. . . and its fat free! Okay, so its really not fat free. I lied. But its so good, you won’t care.

Every year at Christmas time we make this fudge with grandma. This year we made three batches. . . or the equivalent of six 9×13″ foil pans full!

That’s more than 13 cups of sugar. . . 18 cups of chocolate chips. . . 2 lbs of butter. . . You get the point.

Grandma’s Fudge
4 1/2 C. Sugar
1 can evaporated milk
3/4 C. butter (grandma used 1 1/2 c. this year)
35 large marshmallows
1 large chocolate bar (5-8oz size)
3 pkg. (6 cups) of chocolate chips
Nuts (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Combine sugar, milk, butter, and marshmallows in a large pot and stir continuously on medium heat. Bring to a boil.
  2. Boil for 5 minutes.
  3. Break the chocolate bar into smaller chunks and stir in, until melted.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips until melted
  5. Stir in nuts if desired.
  6. Pour into greased pans (2 – 9×13″ or 3 – 8×8″) and allow to cool

Note: If desired, fudge can be cut into squares, wrapped in foil, and frozen for later.

Grandma’s fudge is yummy stuff. Make it. Eat it. Love it. Go to the gym!
