(Courtesy of Helen Paepke)

Ingredients:
4 1/2 c. sugar
1 large can evaporated milk
1/2 lb. butter (can be made with 1/2 butter and 1/2 margarine)
24 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 Tbsp. vanilla
2 c. nuts
Miniature marshmallows

Directions:
Combine sugar and milk.  Heat to boiling, boil for 6 minutes.  Stirring constantly.  Take off heat and add butter and chips.  

Stir until well-blended.  Add vanilla and nuts.  You can let it cool a little and add the miniature marshamllows.  Pour into a 9x13 well-buttered pan.  Chill

Note~  This is my grandmother's recipe.  She used a copper bottom saucepan to boil the liquid in.  She also told me that she always uses a metal large spoon to stir it with.  Make sure to stir the mixture well for the 6 minutes while it boils otherwise it will burn.
