LaRee McNeese's Fudge
LaRee's fudge is famous at Piper Barn Craft Show. People come just to get her fudge and she was kind enough share her recipe with me.
1# milk chocolate, can be Hershey Bars, chocolate chips, or she uses dipping chocolate wafers.
1 12 ounce package semi sweet chocolate chips
1 10 ounce package mini marshmellows
2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
MEASURE ABOVE INGREDIENTS INTO A BOWL AND SET ASIDE
In a heavy pan stir over medium heat:
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 12 ounce can evaporated milk (she uses 1 1/2 cups whipping cream, so do I)
1 4 ounce cube of butter.
Stir until mixture starts to boil. Boil 5 minutes, remove from heat and quickly add set aside ingredients and mix thoroughly until chocolate and marshmallows are melted (add nuts) and pour into a buttered 9x13 pan until set, 24 hours is a good amount of time for all the flavors to blend.
(or 1/2 pound each in small individual containers with lids).

It has to be stirred almost constantly, or it will burn to the bottom. It goes dark as it cooks. (Do it when you have a long phone call to make. Or a movie to watch.
