How to Make Mom's Old Fashion Fudge

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and chocolate chips. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the chocolate is completely smooth.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 235°F (113°C) – the soft-ball stage.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and nuts (if using).
  4. Pour the fudge mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  5. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares. This process takes patience, but it's essential for a firm, sliceable fudge.
  6. Once completely cool, cut into squares and enjoy your homemade fudge masterpiece!
