Mamie Eisenhower’s Million Dollar Fudge
My mom found this in the newspaper years ago and it has become a family favorite. Not only is this a wonderful fudge, it is also easy and almost fool proof!
Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablesoons butter
dash salt
1 can (13 1/2 oz.) evaporated milk
1 package (12 oz.) semisweet chocolate pieces
12 oz. German sweet chocolate, broken up (or three 4 oz. semisweet chocolate baking squares)
1 pint (two 7 oz. jars) marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups walnuts, chopped
Combine sugar, salt, butter and milk in a medium saucepan. Bring to a vigorous boil stirring often, and then let mixture boil for another 6 minutes, stirring continuously. Combine chocolates, marshmallow creme and vanilla in a medium bowl. Pour boiling syrup over chocolate mixture and hand beat until chocolate is melted. Stir in nuts. Pour fudge into a buttered 9″ square pan to cool. When fully cooled cut into 1″ squares. Remember it is better the second day. Store in covered tin. Keeps up to 6 months. Makes about 30 squares.
