This is also known as White House Fudge, Mamie's Fudge, Mrs. Eisenhower's Fudge, Million Dollar Fudge, and Mamie's Million Dollar Fudge. Ingredients:
4 1/4 cups granulated sugar |
1 pinch salt |
1 2/3 cups evaporated milk (one 12 ounce can) |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 cups semisweet chocolate pieces |
3 (4 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking squares |
1 pint marshmallow creme (two 7 ounce jars) |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, salt, milk, and butter. Bring to a vigorous boil, stirring often; then reduce heat and simmer 6 minutes, stirring continuously.
2. Meanwhile, place the chocolate, Marshmallow Creme and vanilla into a large bowl. Gradually pour boiling syrup over the chocolate-marshmallow mixture and beat until chocolate is melted. Stir in nuts.
3. Pour into a buttered pan ( I used a buttered 11 x 16-inch jellyroll pan) and store in a cool place several hours to harden before cutting into 1-inch squares.
4. Store in a covered tin; keeps up to 6 months in a cool place.
