Bradley Prince, Jon Prince's oldest brother, created this favorite family recipe. This is a wonderful candy recipe -- especially for people without a candy thermometer.
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) butter
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- Pinch salt
- 4 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 ounces Nestle Choco-Bake (two packets)
- 7-ounce jar marshmallow creme
- 12 ounces Nestle semisweet morsels
- 11 1/2 ounces milk chocolate morsels
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup chopped nuts (we used walnuts)
In a 4- to 5-quart pot, melt butter, then add evaporated milk.
Stir in pinch of salt and the sugar. Simmer mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5 minutes. Remove from burner and stir in marshmallow creme.
Continue stirring while adding Choco-Bake, milk chocolate morsels and semi-sweet morsels.
Add vanilla and continue stirring mixture while combining with chopped nuts.
Note: Mixture thickens quickly after addition of vanilla.
Pour mixture into greased pan(s) (two 8-by-8-inch or one 9-by-13-inch).
Allow to cool at room temperature and then cut fudge into small squares. Recipe makes 5 pounds.
To make Super Peanut Butter Fudge: Substitute peanut butter morsels for chocolate morsels and Choco-Bake.
