THE BEST FUDGE I'VE EVER MADE!

At least that is what it says on my old, old recipe card!  It is dated 12/94.  Now, really have you ever eaten bad fudge?  Well, maybe.  I make this every year and it is always the best.

Line a 9 x 5 loaf pan with foil.......leaving edges hanging out so you can remove and cut into squares when set. OR what I do is just butter an 8 x 8 pan and proceed.
Put in a metal bowl the following:
6 oz semi sweet chocolate
1/4 cup marshmallow cream
1 1/2 oz unsweetened chocolate chopped
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp almond (I think this is the secret)

Then in a heavy saucepan add:
1 1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup butter (1/2 cube) cut up
Stir and cook over med low til sugar dissolves.  Turn to med high and bring to a boil. Stir with a wooden spoon (Always use a wooden spoon when making candy) Stir and cook til candy thermometer reads 234 degrees.  Pour this mixture over the mixture in the bowl and stir like mad..........Stir in 3/4 cup chopped almonds or whatever........Spoon into pan and let set a couple hours.  This might be a little more work than most fudge recipes..........but I always believe when a recipe calls for a little more work............it is always a little better!!
