Categories: candy

Ingredients

• 4 1/2 cups sugar
• 2/3 cup butter
• 1 cup milk (evaporated)
• 8 oz. marshmallow cream
• 1 1/2 pkgs chocolate chips (18 oz)
• 1 1/2 squares unsweetened baking chocolate (or 4 1/2 Tbsp cocoa powder + 1 1/2 Tbsp butter)
• Pinch of salt
• Tbsp of vanilla (the last two are my additions)

Directions

1. Boil sugar, butter, and milk together for 5-8 minutes at medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened and is pulling away from the edges of the pan. (The original recipe says 8 minutes, I find 6 to be better on my stove).

2. Remove from heat.

3. Stir in: marshmallow cream, chocolate chips, baking chocolate, salt, vanilla

4. Pour into a buttered jelly roll pan. Cut when cool and store in airtight containers.

5. Makes 5 lbs.

6. To make things easier, my Grandma puts the chocolates in a bowl and the marshmallow cream on top, so the candy mixture does not overcook while you try to scrape the marshmallow cream out of the jar.
