Chocolate Fudge Recipe

1 Large can evaporated milk

pinch cream of tartar

4 1/2 C. Sugar

2 sticks butter

2 Tbs. Vanilla

Put the chips and vanilla in a large bowl and set aside. Cook in a large sauce pan on medium heat - sugar, butter, cream of tartar and evaporated milk. Cook SLOW until boiling, stirring constantly. Continue stirring and boil 7 minutes. Pour cooked mixture over the chips and vanilla. Beat until almost thick and when the glossiness begins to wear off (about 20-30 minutes!!!) Add nuts or marischino cherries if desired. Pour into a greased, foil-lined jelly roll pan and chill.
