7-Pound Christmas Fudge

In a large mixing bowl of heavy-duty electric mixer, combine broken chocolate bars, chocolate bits and marshmallow cream; set aside.

In large heavy saucepan combine sugar, milk and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture boils; boil 5 minutes.

Pour hot mixture over chocolate mixture.

Beat until ingredients are thoroughly blended.

Beat in vanilla, remove beater and stir in chopped nuts. Quickly pour mixture into 9 x 13 x 2-inch pan.

Cover tightly and refrigerate until firm enough to cut into small squares.

Flavor will be best after 1 or 2 weeks storage.

Makes about 7 pounds fudge.
