There is nothing more comforting than an old, worn and stained recipe card. You can truly feel the baked love through the faded handwriting of mothers long ago.

Martha Dixon's Country House Fudge

From Marta Dixon’s Copper Kettle Cookbook 
 

We’re sure you’ll agree with us, after making and tasting this fudge, it’s positively the richest, creamiest, most delicious fudge you’ve ever tasted! It makes a wonderful gift for friends, especially those who are difficult to buy for. Invest in a gaily hand-painted box, fill with Country House Fudge, and you’ll receive “raves” galore! 
 

Mix together 4 ½ C granulated sugar, 1 tsp. salt, 1 stick of butter, 1 large can of evaporated mil, and gently boil for 8-10 minutes. (Be sure to start timing after the fudge mixture has reached a full gentle boil). Remove from heat and add 1 12-ounce package of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 4 German sweet chocolate pieces, 1 large Hershey bar (either with or without almonds) about 1 ½ pints marshmallow cream, 2 tsps of vanilla extract, 4 C. of chopped nuts (walnuts are my favorite). Mix quickly with a large spoon until thoroughly blended. Pour into buttered pans. Cool several hours before serving. (Makes several pounds of fudge – can be stored in refrigerator).

 

The Sweetie-licious' staff is thrilled to share some of their treasured family recipes with all of you. So friends, here is to making our lives meaningful, our homes happy and our palates joyous!

Eat pie, Love life, Linda
