How to Make Mother In Law Fudge

  1. Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup evaporated milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir over low heat until completely blended.
  3. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, making sure it's a consistent boil and not just escaping air bubbles. Stir constantly.
  4. Boil for exactly 5 minutes, stirring constantly, without stopping.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite) and any other desired mix-ins (optional).
  7. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares. Refrigerate for about an hour to firm up.
