Yummy Fudge Recipes | Country Cooking Recipes

5 Pound Fudge Candy

4-1/2 Cups Sugar
Can condensed milk
1-1/2  Sticks butter
16 Ounces Marshmallow cream
12 Ounces Chocolate chips
16 Ounces Hershey's chocolate bars
Nuts to taste
Break up chocolate bars into a VERY large heatproof bowl. Add chocolate chips. Mix in marshmallow cream. Reserve. In large pan place sugar, condensed milk, and 1 1/2 sticks of butter (3/4 cup). Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Immediately pour over reserved chocolate/marshmallow cream mixture. Stir like crazy until blended (this is often a two person operation!) Add nuts if you wish. (I prefer black walnuts, but too pricey unless you have a tree or a friend nearby with one. Otherwise good old english walnuts have to do) Pour into a well buttered 1/2 sheet cake pan (12" x 18").
 
Makes about 5 lbs.
