This tasty fudge is soft, but not gooey. Be careful; it tends to splatter as it cooks. If you live at a high altitude, decrease cooking time to about 3 minutes or 222 degrees on a candy therm.

Yield: 30 pieces

• 2 cups sugar
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk
• 12 regular marshmallows
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

In a 2-quart saucepan combine the sugar, evaporated milk, marshmallows, butter, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil and is bubbling. Boil and stir for 5 minutes; remove from the heat. Stir in the chocolate chips until completely melted; stir in the walnuts and vanilla. Spread into a buttered 8-inch-square pan and cool before cutting.
