Ingredients
  

  • 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
  • 3 12 oz. packages semi sweet chocolate chips can switch chocolate depending on flavor of fudge you'd like to make (mint, white, peanut butter, etc.)
  • 1/2 lb. butter
  • 4 1/2 C. sugar
  • 1 8 oz. jar marshmallow cream
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • chopped nuts optional
  • Guittard, easy to use coating chocolate or melts for dipping

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients, except milk and sugar in a bowl and set aside. Mix milk and sugar in a sauce pan. If making fudge in a pan--boil for 7 minutes at a full rolling boil. If making fudge for truffles--boil for 4 minutes. Pour over other ingredients and stir until smooth. If making fudge in pan pour into a 9x13 pan. Refrigerate until firm. For truffles-put in mold shapes and freeze for 10-15 minutes until set. Once able to remove from mold, carefully remove them and dip into coating chocolate. Let set.
  • Add in other ingredients after fudge has cooled to room temperature if desired.
