Awesome, easy and delicious. I'm no expert but I got a great texture. Didn't trust the 6 minutes cook time. I used a candy thermometer like my mom taught me but it actually turned out to be about 6 minutes anyways. Thanks for a great treat.

This is my go to - never fail recipe for fudge. I always use 2/3 cup of evaporated milk and 12 large marshmallows. Over low heat I bring the butter, sugar, and milk to a boil - stirring constantly - when the bubbles cannot be stirred away I start timing for 5 minutes - again stirring constantly. After five minutes, I remove from the heat, add chocolate chips and vanilla, I blend with my portable handheld mixer. Then add nuts and pour into a foil lined and greased 8 x 8 inch dish. Allow to cool, lift foil out and cut into squares. I make a lot of this and give as gifts. Been making for years!

This is "Old Fashioned Fudge" so having said that it is not Fool Proof! The directions say 5-oz can evap. milk so don't mistake that for a regular size can which is what I did... I had to triple my ingredients to make it work! BTW if your making lots changes to this recipe how do you know it really works! Rating 5 stars should be if you followed directions 100% and it worked! As for me, I'll stick with the "Fool Proof" fudge next time. Here's a link on "how to fix your fudge" just in-case you need it! http://candy.about.com/od/fudgecandyrecipes/f/fix_fudge.htm

I just finished making this wonderful fudge! I doubled the recipe, using 1 whole can of evaporated milk (12 oz can) 2 cups ghiardelli bittersweet chips, 2 sticks butter, 2 tsp vanilla, 4 cups mini marshmallows, 4 cups evaporated cain sugar (organic). I used a candy thermometer and cooked the milk marshmallows and sugar on 4.5 heat (setting on electric stovetop) till soft ball stage, I didn't time it, but I know it took quite a bit of time. I stirred with a heat proof rubber spatula slowly the whole time. I then dumped this onto the butter, vanilla and chocolate chips in my kitchen aid mixer. I mixed for atleast 5 min on medium speed. I then dumped into a pan with buttered foil in it. I would say a 10x10 or so would do the trick. It has the best texture of any fudge I have tried. I put walnuts on top of half of the fudge. It looks amazing, Thanks for the recipe. This is the second time I have made fudge and I am sure this will be the main recipe for me! The first fudge I made was a disaster.

I've never made fudge before and this turned out perfect, so easy to make. Just remember to stir constantly the whole time though as it can burn easily. Instead of buttering the pan I just lined the pan with wax paper which works great and helps minimize mess.

I make this every year for my mom. You can substitute any flavor chip instead of chocolate. This last time I did half chocolate & half peanut butter chips and it made an amazing chocolate peanut butter fudge! Make sure it gets hot enough and it will set up beautifully!

I probably will give this 5 stars after I fix my water down fudge, that didn't set up. Thank you mommycherly for sharing to watch the evoporated milk measurements bec thats actually what went wrong. I used a can which is 12 oz when receipe only calls for 5 oz, U bet i'm gonna double it up. It has a good flavor. I used Huge milk choc candy bars too instead of the semisweet choc chip, but thats only bec thats what I have. Thanks 4 receipe!

This fudge never set for me - I did everything the other reviewers said - measured the evaporated milk, beat for about 30mins, but it never lost its gloss. I give it two stars because is tastes reallly good even though it didnt work out for me.
