A little piece of heaven

Here's the recipe for yummy, simple fudge I made for a cookie exchange this year. (I got it out of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook) I've NEVER attempted real fudge before and this was a piece of cake.

Happy Holidays!


Simple Fudge

1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk (NOT sweetened condensed milk)
1/2 cup butter
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with foil extending it over sides. Butter the foil. Set aside.
2. Butter the sides of a 2 quart heavy saucepan. In saucepan, combine sugar, milk and butter. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture boils (about 10 minutes). Reduce heat to medium; continue cooking, stirring constantly for 6 more minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add marshmallows, chocolate chips, vanilla and optional walnuts. Stir until evenly melted. Beat by hand for 1 minutes. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Cover and chill for 2-3 hours or until firm. When firm, use foil to lift out of pan and cut into 1 inch squares. Store tightly covered in refrigerator for up to 1 month.

looks good. Could you post some of your favorite every day meals? You know the kind that have like 4 ingredients, but still taste awesome? I've been trying out some new recipes from books and I swear - no one ever ate these (who had taste buds) before it was published!
