French Silk Fudge

Ingredients

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2/3 cup cream or 1 small can (5 fl. oz) evaporated milk
• 1/4 cup butter
• 3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips (18 oz bag)
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows

Method 

Conventional Method

Combine powdered sugar and milk in a heavy bottom pan. Stir constantly and bring to a boil, and let boil for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in butter, marshmallows, chocolate chips and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in nuts.

Microwave Method

My granddaughter loves to make fudge and I find this is a easy one for her and I to do in the microwave.

In a large glass bowl, combine sugar and milk and microwave on full power for 3 minutes; remove and stir. Return and cook an additional 3 minutes on full power. Remove and add butter, marshmallows, chocolate and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in nuts and pour into a buttered 8 by 11 inch pan. Chill and into small pieces.

Yield: about 2 pounds
