Notes: Traditional Family Recipe. Ellis served this wonderful fudge every Christmas. It tastes very much like the fudge my mother made (or tried to make). It is more difficult to get just right than recipes with Marshmallow Creme, but the cocoa/sugar flavor is unique to this traditional version. If you would like to use a candy thermometer, let it reach 238 degrees
. Love to all, Mimi
