Fantasy Fudge

This is a fudge recipe that Mom has always made. It is my favorite fudge recipe! I have tried others and this one is my favorite. It is definitely very tried and true!

3 c. sugar

3/4 c. margarine

2/3 c. evaporated milk

1 (12 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate, whichever you prefer)

1 (7 oz.) jar marshmallow creme

1 tsp. vanilla

1 c. chopped nuts, optional (I do not like nuts in mine)

Combine sugar, margarine and milk. Bring to full boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 5 minutes over medium heat or until candy thermometer reaches 234* (soft ball stage). Stir constantly!! Remove from heat; stir in chocolate pieces until melted. Add marshmallow creme, vanilla and nuts, if desired. Stir until well blended. Pour in greased 13x9 in. pan. Cool at room temperature and cut into squares.
