PEPPERMINT CREME FUDGE 
1 (5 oz.) can evaporated milk
1/4 tsp. salt
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
3/4 cup marshmallow creme or fluff
2/3 cup crushed hard peppermint candy

In a 2 1/2 to 3 quart pan, combine evaporated milk, sugar, salt, and butter. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-low heat, stirring; boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. (If heat is too high, mixture will scorch.)

Remove from heat; add chocolate chips and stir until melted. Quickly stir in marshmallow creme, vanilla and peppermint until blended. Pour into a buttered 8-inch square or round baking pan; spread to make an even layer. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate.

Cut into 1-inch squares to serve. If made ahead, wrap airtight and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
