Fudge
The best times of summer and Christmas vacations were visiting Grandma & Grandpa Henriksen. We would see all our cousins and best of all – eat Grandma’s Fudge.
Ingredients
4 c. sugar
¼ c. butter
1 can evaporated milk (12oz.)
7 oz. jar marshmallow cream
1# Hershey bars
2 t. vanilla
12 oz. chocolate chips
*optional: 2 c. chopped nuts
Instructions
In a saucepan, bring to a boil, the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk, stirring constantly. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add the Hershey bars and chocolate chips, marshmallow cream and vanilla. Nuts if desired. Beat several minutes to make it smooth and creamy.
Grandma’s quote: It takes 2 people to take turns stirring, as your arm “wears out”. The longer you can beat it the better it is. Put in greased 9×13” pan.
Notes
Grandma’s Fudge
The cost of the fudge recipe was formulated by grandma. It was found in one of her recipe books; I do not know the year, (probably the early 60’s).
I thought it would be interesting to cost it out at today’s 2007 prices. I used Simon Delivers, my online grocery store.
