Five Pound Fudge

Author: Launa Walker (Grandma) Category: Desserts → Candy Cooking Method: Stove Top

I got this recipe while your dad was in Vietnam and I was living with Grandma and Grandpa Bradley. I sent this to him while he was there, it went by slow boat and was still good when it got there. I’m not sure where I got it from, but I think it was from Elda Hansen. This does make 5 lbs of fudge.

Ingredients

4 ½ cups sugar
1 cube margarine
1 can evaporated milk
Boil (Rolling boil) 5 ½ minutes
Stir into hot sauce the following:
1 c marshmallow cream
12oz chocolate chips semi sweet
12 oz bar milk chocolate
2 tsp vanilla

Directions

Put into a 9x13 cake pan.

If this doesn’t set up properly, you probably didn’t cook it long enough. I have used both Hershey candy bars and regular dipping chocolate for this recipe.

You can also turn this into Rocky Road by adding frozen mini marshmallows and nuts. Coconut or additional nuts can be added as well, depending on what you like.
