Hot Mama Notes:  I used milk chocolate chips, but in hindsite maybe I should have used semisweet.  The fudge is really sweet.  But then again, most fudge is!  I will put it to the husband test!!  :)  Also, no salt was listed, so I used ~1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon.  The evaporated milk came in a 5 oz can, so that is what I used.

I also heated it just beyond 5 minutes based on the Marshmallow Creme tub recipe that said to heat it 4 minutes or until 234F on the Candy Thermometer.  See Fantasy Fudge recipe below.
