A Favorite Christmas Dessert

I have many favorite Christmas desserts. But one I look forward to making with Mom every year is classic "Fantasy Fudge". There are tons of variations out there, but we always do the classic dark chocolate with some walnuts sprinkled in. Yum.

So if you're looking for something simple and sweet, with a rich chocolate taste, this is the recipe for you!

Ingredients:
3 cups sugar

3/4 cup  butter or margarine

1 small can (5 oz.) evaporated milk (about 2/3 cup) (Do not use sweetened condensed milk.)

1-1/2 pkg.  (12 squares) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, chopped

1 jar (7 oz.) JET-PUFFED Marshmallow Creme

1 cup  chopped PLANTERS Walnuts

1 tsp. vanilla

LINE 9-inch square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Bring sugar, butter and evaporated milk to full rolling boil in 3-qt. saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook 4 min. or until candy thermometer reaches 234°F, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

ADD chocolate and marshmallow creme; stir until melted. Add nuts and vanilla; mix well.

POUR into prepared pan; spread to cover bottom of pan. Cool completely. Use foil handles to lift fudge from pan before cutting into squares.
