Mamie Eisenhower's Fudge

In response to the request for Chocolate Fudge with Evaporated Milk, I have a recipe from my mother's collection which is for "Mamie Eisenhower's Fudge." It used Evaporated Milk, so thought I'd pass it along. It's quite old, and I'm going to type it exactly as it appears on her recipe card.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Yields: 64 pieces

Ingredients

• 4 1⁄2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
• 1  dash salt
• 2  tablespoons butter

• 2 (12 ounce) packages chocolate chips
• 1  pint marshmallow whip (marsmallow creame)
• 2  cups  nutmeats, chopped
• 1  tablespoon butter

Directions

1. Put granulated sugar in a sauce pan. Add evaporated milk, salt. and 2 tablespoons of butter. Let come to a boil and boil 6 minutes.
2. Cut up chocolate fine and add Chocolate bits and Marshmallow Whip. Pour hot liquid on above and beat and beat until thick.
3. Add chopped nut meats.
4. Pour in 8x8x2 pan which has been greased with butter.
5. Hope this works - I know my mother made excellent fudge every year at Christmas, and I think this is the recipe she used! Happy Holidays!
