How to Make Mamie Eisenhower's Favorite Million Dollar Fudge

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, salt, milk, and butter.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue to stir frequently during the boil.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for exactly 6 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
  4. While the syrup simmers, prepare the chocolate mixture. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, and vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly pour the hot syrup over the chocolate mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula. Continue beating until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in the chopped nuts (if using).
  7. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the fudge to fully set and harden.
  9. Once firm, cut the fudge into 1-inch squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
