Easy Chocolate Fudge





I have made many different types of fudge.  
I thought I'd start off with one of the easiest.  It is not my recipe, I found it on the back of the Nestle Chocolate Chip Bag. Simple, creamy, quick fudge.



Nestle Toll House Famous Fudge

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup (5 fl.-oz. can) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk

COMBINE sugar, evaporated milk, butter and salt in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

 My little 2 year old grandson kept coming into the dining room on Christmas Eve.  I was busy and didn't notice but I heard him saying, " Hmmmmm!" Catie told me that he had gotten into the fudge.
He liked it!
