Fabulous Fudge

1 tsp. vanilla
1 (7 0z.) container Solo Marshmallow Crème
1 pkg. (12 oz.) semi sweet chocolate chips
2 cups sugar
10 oz. evaporated milk
1/4 lb. (1 stick) butter

Place vanilla, Solo Marshmallow Crème and chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl & set aside. Mix sugar, evaporated milk, and 1 tablespoon butter in 2 - 3 quart saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil on medium-high heat, stirring constantly to avoid scorching. Continue boiling and stirring mixture until candy thermometer reaches 233 º F (approximately 8 minutes). Add the remaining butter to the boiling mixture and bring back to a boil, stirring constantly. Immediately pour the hot mixture into the bowl of chips, marshmallow crème and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Pour the fudge into 9 x 9 pan. Cool at room temperature until firm and cut into squares.

* If you prefer harder fudge, heat mixture to a higher temperature.
