8 cups PECAN SHED pecan halves
6 cups sugar
12-oz can Pet Milk (or Carnation Evaporated Milk and it cannot be the low fat version)
3 sticks Parkay (not butter, not low fat Parkay)
12-oz package semi-sweet chocolate chips
12-oz package milk chocolate chips
13 oz jar of Kraft marshmallow creme
1 1/2 tablespoons of vanilla extract
Step 1:
Grease large jellyroll pan with Parkay (approximately 12x15 or larger)
Step 2:
In heavy pan heat sugar, Parkay, and evaporated milk. Bring mixture to a slow rolling boil, stirring constantly. When mixture starts to bubble, cook for exactly 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Set the timer because the amount of time cooked at the "rolling boil" stage is cruicial to the fudge "setting up". Remove from heat. Add vanilla, chocolate chips, and marshmallow creme. Use a hand mixer and beat until well blended.
Step 3:
Fold in pecans and stir with spatula until all are covered. Pour onto buttered pan. Cool for several hours before cutting (several hours usually means all night)...
Cook's Note:
Do not use less than 8 cups of PECAN SHED pecans or it will be TOO chocolately and not nutty enough. This is a pecan-based fudge and it has to have lots of pecans in it or else it will be a chocolate goo.
