Nestle Very Best Fudge - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups granulated sugar
    1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
    1/4 cup butter (I used unsalted)
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    4 cups mini marshmallows
    2 (12 ounce) packages nestle's semisweet chocolate morsels (I use what I have on hand)
    1 cup chopped pecans (I use 1 1/4 cups and DH says I need to use more) or 1 cup walnuts (I use 1 1/4 cups and DH says I need to use more)
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I use home-made)
Preparation
    Line a 13 x 9 pan with foil and leave some hanging over the edge of the pan to lift it easily.
    Combine the sugar, milk, butter and salt in a 4 - 5 cup heavy saucepan and cook over medium heat stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and keep stirring and boil for 4 to 5 minutes.
    Remove from heat and add marshmallows, nuts, morsels, vanilla. Stir vigorously for 1 minute or until the marshmallows are totally melted.
    Pour into the prepared pan and refrigerate for two hours. Cut the fudge into tiny squares and refrigerate tightly covered.
    ***I take my fudge out of the fridge when it fully sets and wrap it into 1/4 pound portions with plastic wrap and store in a container with a tight lid, in the fridge. I also let it ripen before serving as it develops a wonderful taste and texture after a couple of days. It keeps for a couple of weeks tightly wrapped.
