5 c Sugar
12 oz Can evaporated milk

24 oz Semisweet chocolate pieces (2 pkg)

Marshmallow Fluff is made by Durkee-Mower. The recipe on it is called
Never Fail Fudge, essentially the same as Fantasy Fudge.
Combine first five ingredients in a 4 qt sauce pan. Stir over low
heat until blended.
Bring to boil over moderate heat, being careful not to mistake
escaping air bubbles for boiling. Then boil slowly, stirring
constantily for 5 minutes (to soft ball stage).
Remove from heat, stir in chocolate and vanilla (and nuts, if used)
until chocolate is melted. Pour into two buttered 9x9" pans and
cool.
Yield: 5 lb
Bill's notes: This is the recipe as given; however, I have made this
recipe many times, and it ALWAYS takes some 15 to 20 minutes to reach
soft ball stage. A candy thermometer is essential to get it to set
correctly.
My own innovation: Substitute 2 pkgs peanut butter chips for the
chocolate and 1 cup chopped peanuts for other nuts for the best
peanutbutter fudge around. If you use salted peanuts, omit the
1 ts salt.
