Ingredients

4 1/2 cups white granulated sugar

1 1/2 cups dairy half and half

1/4 cup (1/2) stick salted butter

12 ounce package semi-sweet chocolate pieces

4 squares (1 oz. each) unsweetened chocolate, chopped

1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow cream

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Butter a 9"x13" pan (note: do not use marg. or spray); set aside

Place chocolate bits and marshmallow creme in a large heat-proof bowl, set aside

Combine first three ingredients in heavy, 3 quart saucepan

Bring to a full, rolling boil for six minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Scrape the sides of the saucepan to prevent the mixture from becoming grainy on sides.

After six minutes, remove from heat and pour over chocolate and marshmallows; mix until combined; add nuts

Beat mixture by hand . until glossy - this can take up to five minutes

Pour into buttered pan.

Let stand several hours before cutting

Store in cool place

Note: if you do not beat the fudge until glossy, it will become grainy after it is cool. Beating is definitely worth the effort!
