Given to Amy DeVore by Emma Julian c. 1930, this is “supposedly” the original recipe for See’s Fudge, produced by the See’s Candy Company, Los Angeles. Emma allegedly worked for See’s and later owned her own candy store.
4-1/2 cups Sugar
3 packages Chocolate chips (12 ounces ea)
1/2 lb. Margarine
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 can Evaporated milk
7 ounces Marshmallow cream
2 cups Nuts
Mix 4-1/2 cups sugar with one (1) can evaporated milk. Boil 7 to 8 minutes, stirring often. (rolling boil) Mix together in a large bowl; 3 packages chocolate chips, 7 ounce jar marshmallow cream, 1/2 lb. melted margarine. Cream margarine and marshmallow together and add chocolate chips. Pour hot mixture over chocolate mixture. After chocolate has melted, add 2 cups of nuts and 1 teaspoon of vanilla, blend well, pour into buttered pans and chill in refrigerator. Cut into squares before firm. This recipe makes about 5 lbs of fudge.
