My "sweet tooth" flared up this afternoon (and that's a good thing)...so, I decided to make this easy fudge. You should make it, too.

This is another one of those "classic" recipes that I have found while surfing through LIFE magazines. It said "Can't Fail-5 Minute Fudge."

O.K....so, it takes a little longer than 5 minutes, but you will see what they mean.

1&1/2 C diced (or "mini") marshmallows

1&1/2 Chocolate chips

1 t vanilla

Just keep stirring. (Craig Allen photo).

...as the sugary mix starts cooling right away, and you need the all that heat to melt the marshmallows and chips.

Stir 1-2 minutes, or until the marshmallows melt.

Then add:
