The Christmas Fudge (a.k.a. "Fantasy Fudge")

The recipe isn't in Mom's handwriting & has no date. We remember from forever, of course, so who knows its origin?

• 3 C sugar
• 3/4 C margarine
• 2/3 C evaporated milk
• 12 oz. package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 7 oz. jar of marshmallow creme
• 1 C chopped nuts (optional)
• 1 tsp vanilla

Combine sugar, margarine and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly (your arm is tired by now!). Remove from heat & stir in chocolate pieces until melted. Add marshmallow creme, nuts, vanilla & beat until well-blended. Pour into a greased 13x9" pan. Cool & cut in squares.
