My mother came across this recipe in a newspaper some 40 years ago. One taste and you'll see why it doesn't take long for a big batch to disappear. —Linda First, Hinsdale, Illinois
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup butter, divided
3 milk chocolate candy bars (two 7 ounces, one 1.55 ounces), broken into pieces
4 cups (24 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
4-1/2 cups sugar
2 cups chopped walnuts
