Tera this fudge recipe came to me from my mother years ago. She swears it is the recipe for See's Fudge (but I am not sure about that) and it is delicious.

See's Fudge

In a large saucepan:

2 cups of sugar
10 large marshmallows, cut in half
1 small can of evaporated milk (5 oz.)
Pinch of salt.

Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 6 minutes stirring constantly.

Remove from stove and stir in while still hot:

1 12 oz package of chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
1/4 pound of butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts

Stir until melted. Turn into a 9 inch buttered pan.

I double the recipe and it fits in a jelly roll pan. I always use milk chocolate chips

Enjoy!!!

Tera, this is my secret family recipe that I don't give to anyone so you can't share it.

4 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp butter
13 oz. can evaporated milk
pinch salt

Bring to boil in a heavy saucepan, stirring constantly. Turn heat to medium and boil for 6 minutes.

12 oz. milk chocolate chips
12 oz. German sweet chocolate
1 pt. marshmallow creme
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Put these ingredients in a large glass or metal bowl. Pour hot mixture over and stir until it loses it's gloss. Pour into a buttered cookie sheet.

This is the original recipe. It's very good and makes a lot of fudge. It comes out perfect every time. The only very, very important thing to do is make sure you stir the sugar/milk mixture constantly while bringing it to a boil or it will scorch the milk. Once it comes to a boil you no longer have to keep stirring.

I prefer semi-sweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate so I use 24 oz. of semi-sweet chips instead of 12 oz. milk chocolate and 12 oz. of German sweet chocolate. You can use any brand of chips but my fave results come from using Nestles. For some reason the fudge is creamier.

You can also use this same recipe for peanut butter fudge using peanut butter chips. I use less chips with peanut butter though as they tend to make drier fudge or cook the sugar mix a little less.

For white chocolate fudge use white chocolate chips but you need a lot more chips or cook the sugar mix a minute or so longer as the white chocolate makes a softer fudge.

With all the different chips out there the combos are endless and, like I said, I've never had this come out bad unless I scorched the milk.

Also, I line my cookie sheet with tin foil and butter that, then I can just lift the whole thing out in one piece for easier cutting.

Please don't forget ~ this is a secret recipe. Shhhhh.

This isn't really holiday recipes, but kinda. We cooked a turkey tonight and have enough left overs for a couple days at least. I've got a freezer full of turkey lunch meat, so the last thing I wanna do is make sandwiches with it. What's some of ya'll favorite left over turkey recipes?

Baby, I'm making my famous/infamous stuffing this weekend and I put cut up cooked chicken in it. Plus ground sausage, a pan of cornbread, bread, onion, celery, chicken broth, and herbs. Cooked in a pan so it gets that nice crust on top. Very yummy. It was my mom's recipe.

I am cooking a ham for Christmas Eve Lunch, and I just realized that I probably need a glaze for it. Anyone have a special glaze they use?

There's not really a recipe per se, Maris. I just make a pan of cornbread (Jiffy), crumble that up in a pyrex bowl, add half a loaf of bread, chopped up celery and onion to your taste, add chopped up cooked chicken, raw ground sausage, a can of chicken broth or more (depends on how much you are making) and I also put in store bought dry stuffing mix and pop into the oven for at least an hour. It takes a while for the chicken broth to be absorbed by the bread and cornbread and the sausage to cook. Its done when its good and firm and has a brown crust. The seasonings are just some salt, pepper, and basil. For the sausage I use either Jimmy Dean or Bob Evans.

Oh, and the turkey...we eat a ton of chicken because I don't eat a lot of red meat, no pork and no fish. Turkey enchilladas sound good though! LOL, I think I'm hungry, everything sounds good right now!

I use that too, Pamy. I melt it then mix in about a cup or so of raisins and the same amount of chopped nuts and drop spoonfuls on wax paper. People love it and can't believe how easy it is when I tell them how to make it.

Does it come in bark like white chocolate? Is it called vanilla coating? It sounds yummy.

The ones I usually find are in 2# ice tray type package so it's divided into chunks. I think it is called bark but I can't remember.

Chilli, that's exactly it! That's what I meant by bark. I'll have to look for it in vanilla.

I think it does say almond bark on it. If you're making my stuff then just melt and add equal amounts of raisins and chopped nuts until you're happy, drop it into small mounds on wax paper. I guess you could pour it out and then break it apart when set but I've never done that. Anyway, everyone who eats it thinks I've gone to a lot of trouble cooking candy. LOL

Here's my world famous fudge recipe. I've been making it since I was 12 years old (no comments on how long ago THAT was) and it's very yummy. Ask ZM... Zachary helped make a batch last night.

This is a double batch (almost 2 lbs). Cut the recipe in half for a single recipe.

Sue's World Famous Fudge

1-1/3 cup evaporated milk
3-1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
4 cups marshmallows (large size)
3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
2 tsp vanilla

Pour evaporated milk into a medium-large heavy saucepan. Add sugar and salt. Over medium heat, bring to a ROLLING BOIL stirring often. Once the sugar mixture comes to a full rolling boil, stir constantly and boil for three minutes. Turn heat off and add marshmallows. Stir until about half melted, then add half the chocolate chips. Stir until almost all melted, and add the remaining chocolate chips.

Remove saucepan from stove and continue stirring until all marshmallows and chocolate chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla. Stir in nuts.

Pour into two 10"x6" foil pans. (Spray bottoms of pans with a Pam-type spray, then place sheet of waxed paper in bottom of pan.)

Cool on countertop for about an hour, then refrigerate until firm. Cut and enjoy!!!!

TIP: 10 marshmallows = 1 cup, so you'll need 40 marshmallows.

This recipe is, literally, foolproof. It makes a rich dark fudge. I make about 10-12 lbs of it every year, and everyone always wants more. (Last year, when I couldn't make any due to my accident, there were a lot of disappointed folks around the country!) Not many people get this recipe, but since ZM watched me last night, I figured I may as well share it.

And for those of you who end up with more fudge than you know what to do with... this works well with MY fudge anyways. Put some into a small custard cup and microwave on high for 15 seconds. Stir and continue microwaving in 10 second intervals until the fudge is melted. Pour over ice cream. YUM!

My stuffing/dressing is in the oven! YAAAA! Maris, I meant to tell you that you can also add other stuff like oysters or mushrooms to your stuffing. Whatever you like.
