Lair of the Ice Demoness

dergeis makes this fudge recipe and everyone loves it. I asked him to make it this year for the Parsec party and so I could take some to work. He has the recipe memorized but over the years the size of a "large" Hershey bar has changed. So, we have had to re-interpret the recipe. This year, the largest Hershey bar I could find was 4 1/2 ozs and we weren't sure about how that would translate to the recipe so I bought a six pack of the smaller Hershey bars. When it came time to make the fudge, a search ensued for the recipe. Initially, dergeis thought he had it in an old e-mail but a search there didn't turn it up. So I asked him if he wrote it down and he said, if he did, it would be in the recipe box. Sure enough it was the first one under cookies and cakes (I don't think I had a candy division). And, I had thought to write down the size of a large Hershey bar at the time (7 ounces). So, I'm posting to share and also hoping that the electrons never fade:

Fudge to Kill For (he is a Klingon after all)

In a bowl:
1 1/2 large Hershey Bars or whatever translates to 10.5 oz. of Hershey Bars
2 12 ounce packages of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 small jar Marshmallow Fluff (currently 7 oz.)
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Boil for 3 minutes in a pan:
3 cups granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons butter
1 can evaporated milk (not condensed sweetened)

Add boiled mixture to bowl and mix well. Pour/press into a lightly greased (or spray with non-stick spray) 9" x 13" pan and allow to cool. Cut into small pieces (this stuff is rich!). Share and enjoy!

We have tried this recipe with the Hershey's Special Dark bars and it works out fine with them as well. I think we even tried it with Dove dark chocolate bars but I'm not sure.
