2/3 cup evaporated milk
1-2/3 cups sugar
1/2 t salt
1-1/2 cups mini marshmallows
1-1/2 cups chocolate chips (1-1/2 pkg.)
1/2 t peppermint extract
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Combine butter, evaporated milk, sugar and salt in a 2-1/2 quart heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. cook 4 to 5 minutes stirring constantly. (Start tming when mixture starts to ubble around edges of pan.) Remove from heat. Stir in marshmallows, chocolate chips, extract and nuts. Stir vigorously for one minute or until marshmallows are completely melted and blended. Pour into 9" square buttered pan and allow to cool. Cutinto squares. Makes about 2 pounds.
This is really good. As always when making fudge, make sure you have your pan prepared ahead of time and all other ingredients measured out and ready to go. This was pretty easy and unlike some fudge recipes where you have to stir forever over a hot stove. The marshmallows did take longer than I thought they would to melt, and I think if I make this again I will not wait until they're all the way melted and just pour into the pan earlier with still some specks of marshmallow left. I think that will make the fudge a tad softer, and the marshmallow will be find, kind of like a rocky road look!
