Most excellent butterscotch fudge

My latest experiment is a success!



2 cups brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 sticks margarine
2/3 cup evaporated milk

Butterscotch baking chips (11 oz minimum. 12 oz is best)
small jar of marshmallow cream
vanilla

Grease a pan to cool the fudge in. Make sure you have a hand held mixer ready.

Melt the sugar, margarine and milk in a large pot, stirring slowly but constantly, bring to a boil. Boil 4 minutes at sea level, 5 minutes in the mountains. It'll get frothy.

Take the pot off the heat, add a dash of vanilla, and stir in the butterscotch chips. Then add the marshmallow cream. Beat until well mixed and glossy, and pour it in the pan.

That's it! Cut it and store it in a sealed container. (If it lasts that long, of course.)

I highly recommend using a wooden spoon or silicone candy spatula to stir, and a non-stick pot. It's so much easier!
