The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Remarkable Fudge


4 C sugar
1 1/3 C evaporated milk
1 C butter
2 C (12 oz) semi-sweet choc. chips
7 oz dark chocolate candy bar (Dove works very well!), chopped
7 oz. marshmallow crème
1 tsp vanilla

Line a 13x9x2 inch pan with foil, extending foil over the edges of the pan.  Butter the foil; set aside.  Butter sides of a heavy 3 quart saucepan.  Put sugar, evaporated milk, and butter into saucepan.  Cook and stir over med-high heat until mixture boils.  Reduce heat and continue cooking and stirring for 10 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Add chocolate chips, candy bar, marshmallow crème, and vanilla.  Stir until chocolate melts and mixture is combined.  Beat by hand for 1 minute.  Spread in prepared pan.  Score into 1" squares while warm.  When fudge is firm, use foil to lift it out of pan.  Cut into squares on the score lines.  Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.  Makes about 4 lbs. of fudge.

Peanut butter chocolate fudge:
Prepare as above except substitute 1 C peanut butter for the butter, add 1 C peanuts, and leave out the candy bar.  

Here is another one that we have made at Christmas time to add to our Christmas Candy Plates that we like to give out to friends.  The Dove Chocolate Bars make this the best fudge Mommy has have ever had!
Love Always,
