Million Dollar Fudge

This is another family classic.  Papa (Mom's Dad) would be in charge of stirring ...and eating... back in the day.  This recipe comes from Mom's long time friend Linda Hungerford, and is rich and delicious... and perfect for the holidays!

Million Dollar Fudge
Combine in large saucepan:
4-1/2 cups sugar
1 large can evaporated milk
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt

Stir until blended well over medium-low heat. Bring to a rolling boil and and cook exactly 10 minutes more, stirring often.  Pour cooked ingredients over:

12 oz Baker's German Chocolate
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
16 oz marshmallow creme (I just use 2 jars... they make the jars smaller nowadays...)
2 cups broken pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla

Stir well until blended. Pour into a lightly buttered 9 x 13 cake pan. Let set, and do NOT cover until cool. Cut into small pieces. Makes approximately 5 pounds of candy.  Linda notes that this stores well in covered Tupperware, and to use a good quality margarine. She also says to have a man handy to help stir... it takes a lot of muscle!  Sorry I didn't take any shots of finished products... I need to get better at that...   Enjoy!
