My Aunt Myrle was one of the best candy makers that I know. Several years ago, I asked her to share some recipes with me. She sent me a handwritten piece of paper with two recipes on it. The recipes are as follows:
Aunt Myrtle's Fudge
- 1 tall can milk (condensed milk)
- 2 T butter (2 tablespoons)
- 4 1/2 cups sugar
- dash of salt
- 1 - 12 oz pack of semi-sweet chocolate
- 3-4 oz sweet cooking chocolate
- 1 pint marshmallow cream
- 2 or more cups chopped pecans
- Combine milk, butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan.
- Bring to a rolling boil stirring often.
- Reduce heat and simmer 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the other ingredients except pecans in a large bowl.
- Gradually pour the boiling mixture over the chocolate and marshmallows and beat until the chocolate is melted.
- Stir in the pecans and pour in a large, buttered pan.
- Store in fridge or cool place several hours to harden before cutting in squares.
