Serves: 20

Yield: 4.0 pounds

• 4 ¼ cups granulated sugar

• 1 2⁄3; cups evaporated milk (one 12 ounce can)

This is the same recipe my Mom always used. This is the absolute best fudge, hands down.

This is the same recipe I have used for over 25 years and it ROCKS. The only difference is that I use German Sweet Chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate baking squares. This makes a ton of fudge and it disappears quickly. A holiday must at our house.

This is the same recipe that I have been making for years. The BEST fudge you will ever eat.
