Triiple Chocolate Fudge

 

 

1/2 cup butter or margarine

4-1/2 cups sugar

1 can (1-1/2 cups) evaporated milk

4-1/2 cups mini marshmallows

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 bar (12 oz.) sweet baking chocolate, chopped

2 squares (1 oz, each) unsweetened chocolate, chopped

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. butter rum schnapps or amaretto

1 cup pecans, walnuts or macadamia nuts, chopped

    Line a brownie-sized baking pan with wax paper or foil, covering sides of pan.  Spray with nonstick spray or grease foil with butter.  Combine butter, sugar and evaporated milk (do not use sweetened condensed milk) in a saucepan, stirring over medium heat until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.  While constantly stirring, turn to high heat and allow to reach a rolling boil.  Once mixture is boiling, stop stirring; allow to boil an additional 5 minutes.  Remove pan from heat.  Stir in marshmallows; when melted, add chocolate and continue to stir until all is melted and well combined.  Stir in flavorings (vanilla and butter rum or amaretto), then add chopped nuts.  Immediately spread mixture in (lined) baking pan.  Sprinkle with demerarra or optional colored sugar.  Allow to cool at least an hour before cutting into squares to serve.
