This is my grandma's recipe and like all of her cooking and baking, it's delicious.
First you heat the marshmallows, butter, canned milk, and butter until boiling.
Once it's done remove it from the stove.
Mix in the nuts and chocolate chips and then beat it until thick.
Pour it into a well buttered squared pan.
Let it cool and harden.

OMG... I can't thank you enough for posting this recipe. I found it in 1974 but lost my copy about 30 years ago. I remembered the ingredients, but not the measurements. This is the ABSOLUTE best fudge EVER!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoy it also!
DeleteAdd in some peanut butter, about 1/3 cup. Tastes even better!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! Haven't tried that before but will have to some time!
DeleteCan you tell me what 3/4 cube of butter is - I am an American living over here in Germany so I need to know the amount in a cup. I can't tell from the photo. I would really appreciate your help - I finally found marshmallows on the German market so I can make it when my son comes over for Christmas. Thank you - danephoto@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know too - perhaps it should have been 3/4 cup??
DeleteHi, it is 6 tablespoons of butter
DeleteI can't wait to make this! Did you use evaporated or condensed milk?
ReplyDeleteEvaporated milk! :)
DeleteNice recipe but I, too, am wondering how much a cube of butter is, cup-wise. Thanks.
ReplyDelete6 tablespoons
DeleteEvaporated or sweetened condensed milk?
ReplyDeleteAlso do you mean 3/4 stick of butter?
DeleteHi, evaporated milk and 6 tablespoons of butter.
DeleteHow many cups of miniature marshmallows would I use in place of the 16 large ones?
DeleteApproximately 10 mini marshmallows equal one large or regular sized marshmallow. Similarly, one cup of mini marshmallows is equal to 10 large ones.
DeleteThis recipe is the one I ave been looking for! It turned out perfect!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you could use sweetened condensed milk instead of the evaporated milk and sugar.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't try it. You're likely to be disappointed in the results, because you have no way to determine just how much evaporated milk and sugar are in a can of sweetened condensed milk. They're highly unlikely to be the same proportions as in the recipe.
DeleteJust curious, most formulas are written as multiples of WHOLE 12 OZ BAGS of chocolate chips. Is this correct as written, at 16 oz? which would be a bag and a third?

ReplyDeleteHow Many Tablespoons in a Stick of Butter? | ThriftyFun
ReplyDeleteBest Answer. There are 8 tablespoons in a stick of butter. Divide that by 4. 1/4th = 1/4 stick of butter; 2/4ths = 1/2; 3/4ths = 3/4ths, 4/4ths equal one stick/8 TBS.
Aren’t you glad you shared this recipe? I understand the entire recipe and bet it tastes wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI loved this fudge my whole life, my aunt Carm always made it around the holidays. She gave it to me around 1980's and have been making it ever since. she told me that it was see's fudge recipe. I don't know if this is true but it sure tastes just as good. Everyone should try this if they truly love fudge.
