CREAMY CHOCOLATE FUDGE
I clipped this recipe from a December 1983 issue of The Charlotte (NC) Observer, which was running a contest to see who made the best fudge. This recipe won in the "Plain Chocolate Fudge" category (no additives such as nuts). I made this for presents at the holidays and now my grown kids are making it for gifts themselves. I buy disposable aluminum pans approx 5x8-inch so I can just wrap them up and give them as gifts. This recipe makes three pans-full.... or two 8x8-inch pans of fudge.

Steps:
- Butter two 8x8-inch or three 5x8-inch pans.
- In a large heavy pot (I use a dutch oven size pot), mix together sugar, milk, vanilla, and butter; stir to mix.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

- Turn off heat but leave pot on the burner.
- Add marshmallows, quickly stirring until melted.
- Add each chocolate separately in the order listed in the recipe, quickly stirring until melted.
- Pour into prepared pans.
- Let cool.
- Fudge tastes better each day --- if it lasts!
Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your fudge. Use a high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- Don't overcook the fudge: The key to making perfect fudge is to cook it to the right temperature. If you overcook it, it will be grainy and dry. Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the fudge reaches the correct temperature.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help the fudge to set properly and will prevent it from crumbling.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool place: Fudge can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.
- Enjoy your fudge! Fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
Conclusion:
Chocolate fudge is a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion.
