The joy of making this fudge is the clean up. I have fond memories of licking the beaters after Granny made the fudge.
Fudge – LaRue Stauffer
4 c. sugar
1 T. Cocoa (heaping tablespoon or even more depending on taste)
Pinch of salt
½ c. light corn starch
12 oz. can of evaporated milk
2 cubes butter (1/2 lbs)
¼ t. cream of tartar (helps with smooth consistency)
2 T. marshmallow crème
Mix together and cook on medium/low heat until butter is melted.
Simmer (with lid off) for 30 minutes on low heat stirring occasionally
Cool (with lid on) for 30 minutes.
Add 1 t. vanilla
Beat with mixer as the fudge cools to prevent crystals from forming. Fudge should thicken. This takes a long time.
1 c. chopped nuts (add if desired as fudge cools)
When fudge cools and thickens turn it into 8x11 pan to cool and set. Or divide into three parts and roll into a fudge log, wrap with saran wrap and then aluminum foil.
If you cut up the fudge into 24 pieces you get 235 calories/ piece.

Sounds tasty, but I don't dare try it. I would end up eating it all...with some help from three little ones and one extra tall one.
