FUDGE CANDY (THE “ORIGINAL” RECIPE!)

4 1/2 cups Sugar
3 packages Chocolate chips (12 oz ea)
1/2 pound Margarine
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 can Evaporated milk
7 ounces Marshmallow cream
2 cups Nuts

Mix 4 1/2 cups sugar with one (1) can evaporated milk.
Boil 7 to 8 minutes, stirring often. (rolling boil) Mix together in a
large bowl; 3 packages chocolate chips, 7 oz. jar marshmallow cream, 1/2
lb. melted margarine. Cream margarine and marshmallow together and add
chocolate chips. Pour hot mixture over chocolate mixture. After
chocolate has melted, add 2 cups of nuts and 1 tsp. of vanilla, blend

squares before firm. This recipe makes about 5 lbs of fudge. No one has
attempted a calorie count, but it's estimated that each piece contains
about 47 gazillion calories. Dieters, beware!

HISTORICAL NOTE:
Given to Amy DeVore by Emma Julian c. 1930, this is “supposedly” the
original recipe for Fudge, produced by the See's Candy Company,
Los Angeles. Emma allegedly worked for See's and later owned her own
candy store.
