The Best Fudge Ever

Place the following in a large bowl (no mixing necessary at this point):

7 ounce bottle of marshmallow cream
1 large Hershey bar with almonds (or a regular Hershey bar if you don’t want nuts)
12 ounce bag of milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Combine the following in a heavy sauce pan:
1 cube butter or margarine
4 - 4 ½ cups sugar
1 pinch salt
1 can evaporated milk

Heat to boiling, stirring often. Boil for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour over ingredients in bowl and stir until they are all melted and everything is mixed together. Pour into 9x13 pan, then stash somewhere secret so nobody can find it and eat it all before you ever get a piece. It usually does okay without refrigeration, but if the weather's really hot you might want to store it in the fridge.

Mint Fudge Variation:

Substitute a Hershey’s Special Dark bar instead of a milk chocolate with almonds and use a bag of Andes mint chips instead of the milk chocolate chips.
