How to Make Mummy's Fudge

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 cup heavy cream. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup light corn syrup while the mixture is boiling, ensuring it doesn't stop boiling. Stir continuously.
  3. Add 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter. Reduce heat to low and continue to stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F on a candy thermometer, or when a small amount dropped into ice water forms a soft ball that can be easily picked up with your fingers).
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Return the pan to low heat and stir continuously until the fudge begins to look grainy (this helps it set properly).
  6. Stir in 1 cup pecan halves.
  7. Remove from heat and quickly stir in 6-8 large marshmallows while the fudge is still warm so they melt slightly.
  8. Pour the fudge into a buttered 8x8 inch baking pan. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
