Ingredients

2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
2 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional

Directions

1

Line 8-inch square baking pan with foil, extending foil 1 inch over ends of pan. Lightly grease foil.
2

Melt chocolates in medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
3

Stir in condensed milk; add the marshmallows and walnuts, if desired, stirring until combined.

Spread chocolate mixture evenly in prepared baking pan. Score into 2-inch rectangles, triangles, squares, or other shapes by cutting halfway through fudge with sharp knife while fudge is still warm.

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma loved to experiment with her recipes. She discovered she could make mint fudge by substituting 12/3 cups (10 ounces) of mint chocolate chips for the semisweet chips and 1/2 cup of chopped party mints for the walnuts.
