Strawberry Fudge

Submitted by Old widow

"My sister loves this fudge and so do I. It reminds us of the fudge we would get at the Jersey Shore when we were girls. I started making it for Christmas about 3 years ago. I found the recipe in a Southern Living magazine and the strawberry marshmallow creme online.( I have never found it in a store.) This freezes well, I have made it without the pecans but I think it is better with them. Cooking time includes cooling time."
