MY DAD'S FUDGE
My dad was not a cook but he did have a sweet tooth and loved chocolate! This was his recipe and when we were teens we learned to make it. If you only boil it, (oh, no- I don't remember how long), 3 - 5 minutes?, you can use it as a quick and simple hot fudge sauce over ice cream. Yum.

DAD'S FUDGE
Years ago (possibly before I was even born), Dad decided that since he couldn't find a fudge recipe that incorporated the best of all of his favorite features to create his own recipe. This recipe is in response to a request on the boards. I made it today (twice to get the cooking directions written down for 'Zaar) in an attempt to accurately convey the directions, which have always been second nature to Mom and myself, but obviously would be inadequate to someone who had never seen it made. Initially, after discussing this with Mom, I planned to include candy thermometer directions, but after Dad's terminology with respect to candy thermometer terminology (my first batch today), I decided the traditional 'cold water test' we've always used would be best. Cook time does not include time to toast the nuts and is only approximate time of boiling the fudge. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as the 'menfolk' in our family do--they can't stop eating this stuff...lol. If you reduce the cooking time to barely holding its form in the cold water test, it will make a delicious fudge frosting as well. Makes 1 8inch square or 8-inch round baking pan.

Steps:
- Before beginning to cook fudge, be sure to have an 8-inch square or round baking dish buttered (do not use non-stick cooking spray).
- Have hand held electric mixer set up and ready to use.
- Have butter, vanilla and nuts measured and ready to add.
- If you wish to have the nuts in the fudge, toast them in the oven at 350 deg F for 10 minutes shaking after the first 5 minutes.
- Set nuts aside to cool.
- Measure sugar, cocoa and salt into a 4-quart heavy bottom saucepan (I use either my aluminum-clad or copper-clad stainless steel dutch oven).
- Note: If the saucepan is smaller than this you will need to reduce the recipe or it will boil over!
- Blend together dry ingredients in saucepan, then add the milk, stirring until blended.
- Bring to a rolling boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Note: If mixture is spattering out of pan, reduce heat slightly.
- (Because of spattering, I like to use my long handled wooden spoons.) Boil until mixture forms a soft ball when tested in cold water.
- Remove from heat.
- Immediately add butter, vanilla and toasted nuts, if desired.
- Beat at high speed with electric hand-mixer until fudge begins to stiffen.
- Quickly, dump into prepared, buttered pan scraping sides of saucepan and spread evenly.
- Fudge will lose its gloss during this last step.
- While still warm, cut into desired servings.
- Garnish the top of each serving with a whole nut meats if desired.
- Attention: If the stiffening and loss of gloss occur simultaneously you have overcooked it.
- All is not lost, return to saucepan, add an additional tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons milk and melt until smooth over medium heat (fudge will still be edible, but will be somewhat sugary if this becomes necessary).

Steps:
- 1. Put chocolate chips and marshmallow in a large bowl mixing as well as possible. Put butter, sugar and evaporated milk in a large pot on stove top-high heat. When it begins to boil, let it boil for 9 minutes. Take off stove and pour the hot mixture over the chocolate chip marshmallow mixture. (the hot liquid will melt the chips) Beat until glossy looking. Pour onto a large jelly roll pan (or 2) that is lined with parchment or waxed paper. (can also use a couple of pyrex casserole dishes) Place in the refrigerator to cool down. Cut into squares and place in a container, using waxed paper between layers. Keep in the refrigerator. (do not leave out of the refrigerator more than 2 or 3 hours.)
- 2. Note--I remember my father bringing the fudge to our class around the time the parties started since it could not be a room temperature for very long :-)
