Fast Fudge

My grandson, Josh, loves fudge, so I made this for him for his birthday.

• 2 cups sugar
• 2/3 cup evaporated skim milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 12 large marshmallows
• Few grains of salt
• 1 (6-oz.) pkg. semisweet chocolate morsels
• 1 cup chopped pecans, optional
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large saucepan.  Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil, stirring gently; boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat.

Add chocolate morsels to marshmallow mixture, stirring until melted.  Add pecans, if using, and vanilla, stirring well.  Spread evenly in a buttered 8-inch square pan.  Cool and cut into squares.  Yield: 2 pounds.

Mocha Fudge:  Add 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules with the salt.
