Old Fashioned Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge

Submitted by Larkabug

"This a traditional fudge using both granulated and brown sugars. The addition of the marshmallow makes it oh so creamy. My mom made this every Christmas and we kids couldn't wait to get our hands on it! Now I never fail to make it myself! We always use walnuts in the recipe but pecans would work too!"

I made this twice, the first time it was so mushy, so I figured it had to be me. The next time it was better, still a little soft, but keeping it in the fridge firmed it up. The taste was like eating a fudgesicle! Very chocolatey!
