Dear Heloise: I cannot locate Heloise's Fudge Recipe. Could you please reprint it? I would appreciate it very much! -- Renee B., via e-mail

It’s been a long time since this Heloise favorite recipe has been printed, so I am happy to oblige, Renee!

To begin, gather the following ingredients:

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 3 (6 ounce) packages chocolate chips
  • 1 (10 ounce) package mini-marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine (regular, not any low-fat or diet type)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped nuts (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the sugar and milk in a large, heavy saucepan. Slowly bring the mixture to a rolling boil, and let boil for 7-8 minutes while stirring CONSTANTLY. Remove the pan from the heat, then add the chocolate chips, marshmallows and butter. Mix only until the chips and the marshmallows are melted (DON’T overmix). Next, add the vanilla extract and nuts (if using). Spread the mixture in a large, 13-by-9-inch ungreased pan. Let cool, and then you can enjoy this delicious fudge! -- Heloise
