Mom’s Million Dollar Fudge ala ~DKBB~

(original recipe from Lyola Brown)

This was a Christmas tradition, and a Christmas favorite, in my house when I was growing up. It is a tradition in my house now as well. Enjoy!

4 cups sugar

1 can evaporated milk

1 cube (1/2 cup) butter

Cook the above ingredients in a heavy pan for 8 to 10 minutes, making sure all the sugar has dissolved.

1 large Hershey bar (the really big kind – use either regular milk chocolate or Special Dark chocolate)

16 to 18 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow cream

• Break the Hershey into small pieces in a large bowl.
• Add chocolate chips and marshmallow crème to bowl (you can add chopped nuts here, if desired).
• Pour the heated mixture over all the ingredients in the large bowl and stir until all is melted (this will take a while).
• When all has cooled a bit, pour into a large greased pan (11x7 works, or 9x13).

 When completed cooled, cut into small squares. Store in refrigerator.
