Fantasy Fudge - original recipe used by Grandma

 


  •  
  •  
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cups butter
  • cups evaporated milk

  •  1  jar marshmallow cream 7 oz.
  • 1 cup (117 g) walnuts, chopped 
  •  1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Grease or spray a 9x13 pan or similar size so the fudge comes out easily.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat mix  sugar, butter, and evaporated milk.
  • Bring the mixture to a steady rolling boil and boil for 5 minutes. If you have a candy thermometer, the temp should be. 234 F.
  • Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips and marshmallow cream until smooth and evenly colored.
  • Stir in the nuts and vanilla.
  • Pour mixture in pan and make even with a spoon and holding pan and shaking lightly.
  • Wait three or four hours (if you can) for the fudge to set up and then cut in small squares and put in a Tupperware container or similar.   
     
    Grandma Allene Myer used to make Fantasy Fudge at the holidays. She used black walnuts in hers, because they had black walnut trees on their land. 
    We started making a similar recipe with peanut butter chips for a different flavor fudge.
    These quick-to-make fudges are  very creamy and delicious. 
    My son, Eli Wittum, made the fudge in the photo.
