Mamie Eisenhower’s Fudge
When Maude Evans, who lived at the Trout Hatchery, went to Louisiana, she sent this recipe to me.
4 ½ cups sugar
Pinch salt
4 Tbsp. butter
1 tall can evaporated milk
Bring the above ingredients to a boil for six minutes.
Remove from heat and add:
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
12 ounces German sweet chocolate
1 pint marshmallow cream
2 cups nut meats, chopped.
Beat until everything is melted.
Pour onto waxed paper and allow to set for three hours.
This recipe makes quite a lot, so have a large enough piece of paper and a large place to pour it out. It never dries out, but remains moist for a week or more.
If you have any questions or requests, you may call me at 304-799-4757.
