Grandma Wood's Marshmallow Fudge

This Recipe is from Tirzah:

It's actually from Grandma Knight, Grandma Wood's mom. We make this every year as a family effort, it takes a lot of elbow grease and arms get tired, so we take turns.

4 c sugar
1 can evaporated milk

Bring to a rolling boil while stirring. Turn to medium heat and boil 5 minutes without stirring. Do not scrape sides when boiling.

In large bowl, place the following ingredients in order given:

3 pkg chocolate chips
3 pints marshmallow cream
1 10 1/2 oz Hershey bar, broken
3 oz Baker's unsweetened chocolate, placed on top

Add at end:
2 tsp vanilla
2 c nuts (optional)


Pour hot syrup on top and let settle for about 1 1/2 minutes before starting to stir. Stir until bubbles form and start to pop-that's how you know it's really creamy. It kind of loses it's shine and becomes lighter in color, too. Add the vanilla and nuts, if desired, at the end.
Pour into well-buttered cookie sheet, which will get scored when cutting fudge or line baking sheet with foil and spray.
