Remarkable Fudge

This fudge is a great recipe that I tried last year from Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. It's easy and very creamy--just what I like. I will make it over and over. Cheryl
4 cups sugar
2 5-oz. cans (1 1/3 c total) evaporated milk
1 cup butter
1 12-oz. pkg. (2c) semisweet chocolate pieces
1 7-oz. dark chocolate or milk chocolate candy bar, cut up (I use the candy bar)
1 7-oz. jar marshmallow creme
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp. vanilla
Line a 13x9x2 inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Butter foil; set aside.
Butter sides of a heavy 3 qt. saucepan. In saucepan combine sugar, evaporated milk, and butter. Cook and stir over medium-high heat till mixture boils. Reduce heat to medium, continue cooking and stirring for 10 minutes.
Remove pan from heat. Add chocolate pieces, cut-up chocolate bar (if desired), marshmallow creme, walnuts, and vanilla. Stir until chocolate melts and mixture is combined. Beat by hand for 1 minute. Spread in the prepared pan.
Score into 1 inch squares while warm. When fudge is firm, use foil to lift it out of pan. Cut fudge into squares. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. Makes about 4 pounds (96 pieces).
