bakers box of recipes. fudgie fudge.

there are few things quite as indulgent as good ol' fashioned fudge. 

its sweet. its chewy. it is just so deliciously evil. 

now . . . i have had my fair share of fudge over the years.

but none quite compare to this very special recipe.

my sweet-as-fudge-mother-in-law was so gracious to share 

her fave recipe for homemade fudge.

adapted from mamie eisenhower's million dollar fudge recipe

my mother.in.law. brenda. added a few special things of her own.

a few things worth way more than a million dollars of anything.

a dash of compassion. a sprinkle of kindness. & a heaping scoop of love.

{because she has more than enough of those to share with us all}

& that my friends makes this particular batch of fudge

the one & only b.i.l.l.i.o.n. dollar fudge. 

*bakers tip*

you may want to start baking this with a full tummy.

or you will surely want to eat this by the spoonful.

you will need . . .

four and a half cups of sugar

a pinch of salt

two tablespoons of butter

one twelve ounce can evaporated milk

two cups coarsely chopped pecans

one pint marshmallow cream

twelve ounces of semisweet chocolate

& twelve ounces of german's sweet chocolate

bring the sugar. salt. butter. & milk. to a boil.

boil for six minutes.

place the pecans. marshmallow. & chocolate in a separate bowl.

then pour the boiling syrup into that bowl. 

wisking away until the chocolate is completely melted.

grease a jellyroll pan & then pour the fudge in.

allow the fudge to cool completely before cutting & serving.

voila.

i hate to be braggadocios . . . 

but this recipe is number 473 of all the reasons 

why my mother.in.law is hands down the best in all the land.
