The Best Fudge You Will Ever Taste

My family is obsessed with See's Candy. Whenever my grandparents came to visit us from Texas, one of their first stops would be to the mall to get See's Candy. We have a recipe that has been in the family for years that, according to ledgend, is the very recipe that See's Candy uses to make their fudge. I cannot vouch for the validity of this claim, but I do know that this recipe makes some amazing fudge.

In a large bowl combine:
2 1/2 – 3 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
1 8oz jar marshmallow cream
2 cups walnuts (if desired)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Set all these ingredients aside

In a large heavy-bottom bowl place:
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can evaporated milk
4 1/2 cups sugar

Heat the sugar, milk and salt mixture to a rolling boil stir regularly. Boil for 10 min, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat. Make sure that you do stir it constantly because it can burn easily. After the 10 minutes of boiling is up, pour the contents of the pan into the large bowl with the other ingredients and mix until you have a smooth and creamy texture.

Place this all into a well greased pan and let it cool.

Make sure you have plans to give some of this away or else you might eat the whole pan.
