Recipe Introduction

Very rich and sweet. My family loved it! This is basically "Fantasy Fudge" w/ pecan halves and caramel chunks added.

List of Ingredients

3 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 small can evaporated milk -- (5 ounces)
1 package semisweet chocolate chips -- (12 ounces)
30 caramels -- cut in quarters
1 jar marshmallow creme -- (7 ounces)
1 cup small pecan halves, toasted
1 teaspoon vanilla


Recipe

In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk; bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling, stirring constantly, over medium heat until candy thermometer reaches 234°, or to soft ball stage. Remove from heat. Add chocolate chips; stir until melted. Add remaining ingredients; beating until well blended. Pour into greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Cool to room temperature and cut into squares.

*To Test for Soft Ball Stage
A small amount of syrup dropped into chilled water forms a ball, but is soft enough to flatten when picked up with fingers (234° to 240°).
