HOLIDAY FUDGE

Combine in a large mixing bowl and set aside: 1 cup (6 ounce) semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup chopped walnuts 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

Combine in a saucepan: 12 large marshmallows (no minis, no marshmallow cream) 2 cups granulated sugar 3/4 cup evaporated milk

Bring the ingredients in the saucepan to a boil over medium-high heat and then turn the heat down to medium so the mixture continues to boil actively, stirring constantly. Once the marshmallows melt, continue boiling and stirring for exactly 6 minutes (time this carefully) and remove from stove. Immediately pour this hot liquid over ingredients in the bowl. Stir to combine and then beat by hand for exactly 20 minutes (you may also do this with an electric mixer set on "low") or until you cannot stir it any longer because it is so thick. Pour into a lightly buttered 8-inch-square glass dish. (Hint: Spray the pan with nonstick baking spray to make sure the fudge comes out easily.) Sprinkle a few ground nuts on top (optional) and refrigerate to harden. Wait for several hours, and then cut into squares.

NOTE: Measurements, cooking and beating times must be EXACT. No "fudging" allowed or this recipe won't turn out. But if you follow the directions exactly, you will have excellent results.
