Irish Cream Fudge

What You Need:

  • Large bowl
  • 2 packages ( each package should be 12 ounces each)  of milk chocolate chips
  • 1 (12 ounces) package semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 jars of marshmallow cream, 7 ounces EACH
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cups of Irish Cream
  • 2 cups of chopped nuts - optional
  • 4 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
  • 1 12 ounce can of evaporated milk
  • 1/2 pound of butter

What You Do:

  1. In a very large bowl, combine the 2 packages of milk chocolate chips, the one package of semisweet chocolate chips, both jars of marshmallow cream, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, the Irish Cream, and nuts if you are adding them.    Set this mixture aside.
  2. Line a 10-x-15-inch pan with foil and spread lightly with butter or margarine.
  3. In a medium sized saucepan, combine 4 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 1 can of evaporated milk, and 1/2 pound of butter.  Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat and cook slowly, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes.
