Fool You Fudge

Directions

1. 1
   In a medium heavy saucepan (glass saucepans work best, but any kind will do) combine the sugar, salt, butter and evaporated milk over medium heat.
2. 2
   Stir the mixture constantly until it comes to a boil.
3. 3
   Continue constantly stirring and let the mixture boil for about 5 minutes.
4. 4
   Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the marshmallows, chocolate chips and vanilla. Now is also the time to add any of the nuts and/or dried fruits you want.
5. 5
   Stir the mixture vigorously for a minute or until the marshmallows have all melted and the fudge becomes a nice chocolate color.
6. 6
   Quickly pour the fudge into a foil-lined bread loaf pan and place it into the refrigerator overnight or until it is firm and fully chilled. Note : You can also pour the fudge into a foil-lined 8-inch square pan.
7. 7
   To slice, take the fudge out of the refrigerator and tip the pan upside-down to remove the foil. Then, let the fudge slab stand for 15-30 minutes or until it softens slightly but is still cold. (You don't need to let the fudge soften if you use the 8-inch square pan, just slice it into 1 1/2 inch squares.) Slice into 1 inch thick slabs, wrap with wax paper and share with family and friends!
