This recipe is great. Simplifies fudge so even a child could do it (with adult supervision).
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 2/3 cups white sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
walnuts (optional
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Mix the milk, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a rolling boil and continue to cook at this level for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add marshmallows, chocolate chips, walnuts and vanilla. Mix thoroughly until its all blended together.
Pour into a greased 8x8 or 9x9 pan and let sit on the counter for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove from fridge and cut into bite size pieces.
For a fun twist, you can add other things to the fudge. I sometimes use peppermint extract instead of vanilla. Gives the fudge a nice minty flavour. Or you can substitute different flavour chips ie. butterscotch or white chips.
It only takes a few minutes prep time, and its super easy. My family loves this fudge, especially at the holidays, mixed in with all the other goodies.
