I made this over the holidays last year, but never got around to posting it. This is one of those "cheater" fudge candy recipes - keeps best in the fridge rather than on the counter - but that's okay. I just thought it was so sweet and can imagine a mom or dad (or grandma like me) in the kitchen with a child preparing this with a little bit of fluffy clouds, the diamonds of a princess and wrapping the pieces in a dream! Plus it just tastes good! From a Food Network recipe - enjoy!
Sweet Dreams Chocolate Fudge Candy

Fluffy Clouds (1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow cream)
Princess Diamonds (1-1/2 cups granulated sugar)
Mountain Snow (2/3 cup evaporated milk)
Candy Bricks (1/4 cup butter)
The Lost Sea (1/4 teaspoon salt)
From the Milky Way (3 cups milk chocolate chips)
Hidden Forest (1/2 cup chopped nuts)
Magical Island (1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
Dream (Parchment paper)
Line an 8 by 8-inch pan with aluminum foil. Set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine marshmallow cream, sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Bring to a full boil, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until thick.
Remove from heat and pour in the milk chocolate chips. Stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. If mixture gets too thick, add a bit of extra milk and return to the heat for a few minutes, then remove and stir in nuts and vanilla. Pour into prepared pan. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours or until firm.
Cut to small squares and wrap in the "dream" (parchment paper).

Have always thought fudge a super hostess gift, if you can keep everyone in the family from eating it until you give it away!
