Ingredients

• 4 cups sugar
• 12 oz can evaporated milk
• 18 oz bag chocolate chips (3 cups or 1 12 oz pkg and 1 6 oz pkg)
• 1 lb butter (that's right!-FOUR sticks)-use the real stuff and cut in one inch pieces.
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• Chopped walnuts if desired (1/2 to 1 cup)

Directions

• irst, line a 9x13 glass pan completetly with foil, leaving enough hanging over the ends so that you can "scrunch" it up to make handles to lift the fudge out with after it's set up. Use a couple of Tbsp of soft butter and completely butter the foil. Set aside. Second, cut the lb of butter into one inch pieces and put it, the chocolate chips, and the vanilla into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
• Third, over a medium high heat, bring sugar and evaporated milk to a rapid boil in a LARGE pot (it can boil up pretty high). Turn heat down to medium, and boil for 9 minutes exactly, stirring constantly. Set the timer as soon as it starts boiling and time it from there. Do not stop stirring it. It should be a gently rolling boil. When timer goes off, immediately remove from heat and pour mixture over the chocolate chips, butter and vanilla in the mixing bowl. Stir it up well, the butter and chocolate chips will start melting as you stir the hot mixture into it. After you stir for a minute Yield: serves 0
  
  

  Notes: 

  or two, use mixer and blend thoroughly on low speed, then beat on medium speed for exactly 10 minutes. If you use a hand mixer your hand will get really tired! Add walnuts if desired and mix in by hand with a spoon. Pour into prepared 9x 13 buttered foil pan. . Place in refrigerator. Refirgerate for 2 hours. Remove and "score" (this will make it easier to cut later). Return to refrigerator until thoroughly set (about 8 hours or overnight) When ready to cut, use foil "handles" and lift out of pan to a flat surface. Push foil away from fudge so that you can cut nice, neat 'squares". Store in fridge
