No Thermometer Fudge


3 cups sugar
1 ½ sticks butter or margarine
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
12 oz. pkg. of chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 jar marshmallow cream
Spray 8 x 8 inch glass pan with non-stick spray.
1. In a 2 quart saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Heat on medium high heat until mixture comes to a rolling boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
2. Continue to stir constantly for 5 more minutes after the mixture barely comes to a rolling boil.  If you decide to use a thermometer, cook until 234 degrees.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Stir in vanilla, chocolate chips, and marshmallow cream. Stir thoroughly until all is blended well. But don’t over stir or the fudge will become “sugary.”
5. Pour into a 8 x 8” dish and smooth so the height of the fudge is even.
6. Score when the fudge cools. Enjoy

Note:  This recipe may be doubled.  Cook in a Dutch oven and pour into a 13 X 9" pan.
