My mother came across this recipe in a newspaper some 40 years ago. One taste and you'll see why it doesn't take long for a big batch to disappear. —Linda First, Hinsdale, Illinois

This recipe has been around at least since the 1950's. It was originally called "Million Dollar Fudge" and called for 5 Hershey Milk Chocolate bars (the old 5 cent bars). Since the Eisenhower's owned a home in mid-Pennsylvania near Hershey, PA, I'm sure it's the same recipe. My mother's old recipe is exactly 1/2 the amount of these same ingredients and is made in an 8 X 8 inch pan. It's absolutely foolproof. It's perfect everytime and wonderfully delicious.

I have been making this recipe every Christmas since I first saw it in 2001...there is no better recipe I have found for fudge!

Interesting that I too have a recipe for "Mamies Famous Fudge" from about 45 or so years ago. It has different chocolates such as bars of German Sweet and the butter amount is different as well. I have seen the one I have before but not this version. I think this one must have been changed for personal taste. Good regardless, but I will make the one I have.

This recipe is not only very easy to prepare, it is amazingly delicious.

I use a larger pan for this recipe, it still makes a nice thick piece of candy.
