Five Pounds of Fudge

Kerrie H. came over today and we each made 5 pounds of fudge with a recipe from Sheila Fostiak that is in the Richmond Museum cook book. Kerrie used semi sweet chocolate and I used Guittard milk chocolate chips. It's a wonder that something so delicious  can be made so quickly and easily. Here's the recipe....

Five Pounds of Great Fudge

4 and 1/2 cups sugar

1 can evaporated milk (12oz.)

2 Large bags Chocolate Chips (the 24 oz. size bags)

1 cube butter (cut up)

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups nuts (we used pecans)

In a large heavy saucepan stir the sugar and milk over high heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add chocolate, butter and vanilla. Stir until mixed and smooth, add nuts, stir a bit more and pour into a buttered 8"x8" pan or a larger one. Cut when completely cooled. Recipe can be halved and fudge freezes well.
